Artist statement
My anonymous person mentioned liking warmer colors and plants. To portray this, I wanted to have leaves creeping in through the corners and having flowers being the main focus. I made the pollen look like microbes, because they have a passion for microbiology. Their favorite song is "Not a lot, just forever" by Adrianne Lenker. One line in the lyrics is "Intertwined, sewn together", so I wanted to make the background look like yarn, coloring it in a warm orange. My original idea was to sew through the paper to give it dimension and character, but after testing that out on separate paper, the decision was to color instead. Personally, my piece could have been way better. If I were to change anything, I would have added more dimension to the colors and shading to make them pop out more. I could have also had the flowers be cut out and layered onto the paper so the art doesn't look so flat. In my head, the idea was there, it just was not executed well.
