I have proud wild iris’s around the studio, the form of the flowers are so embodying, the curves and containers, sepals and standards, the fuzzy beards, hafts & falls, trying to capture the droops and crests, sweeping, dissolving nature. These flowers hold hope and the word iris originates from the greek for rainbow, which has been a true symbol throughout this world crisis.
