" ... If You Can Becalm Yourself, In The Midst Of Chaos... You Become The "I~Eye Of The Storm". Can See The Big Picture. "

This is an Extract I made from a Digital Photograph of Cellophane "Passion Flowers" I Hand-Make. I've been Making Paper Flowers since I was a little girl. My mother Taught me How, when I was 4. I still Make them even at my Age, because of a Saying I once read... "We must Cultivate Hope like Precious Flowers". My mother Taught me How To Make my Paper Flowers out of tissue. Over Time, I began to Experiment with other types of "Papers". I Love using cellophane to make my Flowers with, because not only do they catch and Reflect Light, they also Allow the Light to Pass Through... Producing a Stained-Glass Effect. Throwing Colours Everywhere. I think if People Acted the Same Way... "Reflecting Light, but Also Allowing any Light to Pass Through them, Throwing Colours Everywhere"... there would be Fewer Places where the Shadows of Greed, Corruption and Hate could Hide and Fester Within the Hearts of People in Our "Modern, Civilised" Society. .

When I Began Creating my Extracts from Abstract Images I Found Hidden Within my Digital Photos... I decided to Experiment with Extracting an Abstract Image from Photos I had Made of my Cellophane "Passion Flowers". The Results were Amazing. A True Reflection of Who and What I am as an Artist. What Makes Me "Tick". In this Image... How I Think, When I get Excited about an Archetypal Image or Concept, and Start "Playing With It".

I always find this Image very exciting and dynamic. Regardless From Which Perspective I View It. Really gets my "Creative Juices Flowing". Every time I look at it, I notice "Something Different"... Which is How I Meant It To Be.
