About Furari Flores – still image artworks
A digitally produced artwork using focus-stacked photography collaged with a spectrograph. Spectrographs are the visual analysis of soundwaves.
About the series
This series, Furari Flores (Stealing Flowers), explores my relationship with plants, the environment, and my journey living with disability. Each image incorporates focus-stacked photography, which I cut-out in Photoshop. I manipulate this image into a design incorporating a transposed spectrograph. Spectrographs are the visual analysis of soundwaves. In the still image artworks in Furari Flores, these are audio recordings of my pronunciation of the Latin title.
There is an irony in speaking a dead language to a plucked flower. Using Latin in this series pays homage to the continued use of Latin and Latin taxonomy in modern science, including the naming of plants and medicine. Read more about the series here.

General Information
In situ images provide an idea of how this artwork looks in different rooms. I recommend collectors measure their own spaces using the listed dimensions. This series looks stunning in box frames with stained black or natural hardwood timber. To protect the artworks from harmful UV rays and reduce reflections, I recommend a minimum of UV70 glass, or museum glass. I recommend that collectors do not install artworks in strong natural light to avoid premature sun damage to the pigment prints.
These artworks are pigment printed on high quality fine art photographic paper. My professional printer prints these artworks on purchase, so please expect receipt of artwork between 2-6 weeks from the sale. Further delays may be caused because of elements beyond my control, such as postal service issues, current events, or natural disasters.
I do this to ensure the print you receive is in pristine condition. You will receive your artwork with a signed Certificate of Authenticity (COA) stating the edition number. If you require an artwork by a specific date, please contact me so I can work with my printer to get your purchase to you within your required timeframe. Please note, that this is not always possible, particularly towards the end of year, or other business closure periods.
