I am trying to show how the world has changed over the years, where maybe everyone had time ‘to smell the roses’ 200 years ago and we don’t now or maybe a lot of humans through the centuries have never been able to despite what year it was and what culture they came from. |

| All types of flowers represent all sorts of things in many cultures,
the flowers I am most interested in is the Sakura (Cherry Blossom) form
Japan and the Rose from England. I studied the effects that the Sakura
has on Japan and has done for many centuries and why the Rose is our unofficial
flower. I wanted to recreate the history that these flowers have in a contemporary style, using Japanese and English themed effects, |
mainly looking into the 18th Century which I find of
great interest in both these cultures. Within my work I also wanted to
represent the chaos and busy lives humans now have unlike what it might
have been all those years ago. The dense stitch and bead areas represent
all kinds of people from all cultures. |
