Installation Dims. variable (image: 30 x 20cms).
Flowers reconstructs a traditional still life using dots cut from different coloured bin bags. Only on close observation is the connection made between the image and the bin bags installed nearby.
Based on a production process normally associated with mass printing, each dot is stuck down one by one in an absurdly slow process of reproducing the image, focusing simultaneously on the idea of its construction and its breakdown into constituent parts.
