Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Helen Ahpornsiri

~ humoringthegoddess ~ 10 Comments

British artist Helen Ahpornsiri grows and collects flora, foliage, and seaweeds which she preserves with traditional flower pressing methods before delicately re-imagining them into artworks.

Her delicate compositions depict the diversity of the natural world, from mammals and birds to insects and sea creatures.

All of Ahpornsiri’s uniquely beautiful images are made using only real flowers, petals, leaves and stems.

The majority of the plants she uses are grown in her small garden, cut for pressing, leaving the rest of the plant to continue growing and providing for the local wildlife. These are all grown or foraged responsibly before being placed in a flower press.

After one to six weeks, the flora and foliage are flat and ready to use, their natural colors preserved, with no dyes or paints.Each piece is then cut and delicately positioned to form detailed designs, brimming with the intricate twists and tangles of plant life.

Jennifer Latour was born in Seven Islands, Quebec, but now calls Vancouver, Canada, home.Latour is a self-taught artist who has moved into the world of nature to create delicate, unusual art.

She has developed her love for character creation, sculpture, photography, and cinema into a series that combines a wide variety of fruits and flora into a strange and beautiful real sculpture.

She then photographs these temporary organic sculptures, sometimes even releasing her creations back into the wild.Latour’s eye for color and the allurement of the natural world imprints her photos with a distinct, delicate, and ethereal aesthetic.

While each piece has a unique character and stands on its own, the series as a whole is evocative of the interconnectedness found in nature, and serves as a reminder that all creatures are bound simultaneously by both their similarities and their differences.More of Jennifer Latour’s creative work can be found at https://opendoors.gallery/artists/jennifer-latour.
