Aphrodite
Aphrodite.. Still Life January 2025.
Its high summer, on my old wooden work bench sits the most beautiful vintage art nouveau vase waiting to be filled. In the garden, an abundance of creamy blush roses sway in the breeze, their heavy chalice-shaped blooms too irresistible not to pick. I gather armfuls of cascading flowers, trailing amaranthus and a stunning pineapple lily, its architectural form with rows of miniature flowers is unexpected and unique. Layered with the old fashioned roses, the petals drifting to the table with each movement, the arrangement takes shape. Fat bumblebees compete with me for the pollen, hovering, brushing past my hands as I work. Pops of colour emerge, zinnias, dahlias, coreopsis, craspedia, delphinium and a flowering leek. A celebration of summer, wild, abundant and alive.
Inspired by the Dutch Masters floral paintings but reimagined through a contemporary lens.
Arranged and Photographed by Laura

The Print and the Paper
Printing: Giclée Archival Inkjet Print
Paper: Hahnemüle Photorag paper
Your artwork will be printed on premium Hahnemüle Photorag paper, this is museum quality for highest age resistance. It will be rolled in a tube and shipped directly to you from the printers and include a signed certificate of authentication. Please ask your framer to attach this to the back of the frame. All prints come unframed with a 10mm white handling border. The super matte finish of Hahnemüle Photorag makes this paper one of the most popular papers amongst artists & photographers. The paper gives muted blacks an even colour reproduction, and excellent detail. The surface has minimal texture with a chalky smooth cotton feel. It has a delicate surface so we recommend extra care when handling. As much as I understand the desire to open your parcel as soon as you have received it, I strongly advise not opening the tube but give directly to your framer to handle, they will use special gloves to avoid finger prints and be working in a space that protects the paper. Your artwork is an investment and very precious so I recommend asking your framer to use a protective non-reflective artglass with a UV filter, this will greatly reduce any potential fading. I recommend either UV70 or museum glass.
