I made this piece by mixing homemade acrylic monoprints and pastel frottage on different types of paper. Then, as I was placing them on canvas, the pieces seemed to naturally arrange themselves into a budding flower. I followed their lead, and saw that certain shapes suggested death as well as life, which seemed fitting. For that is what spring means to me: the death of the old, and the beginning of new life and hope.
