Scabiosa

Scabiosa: 

Scabiosa is my ongoing theme “Working on texture.”  The botanical name of the scabiosa pod is Scabiosa Stellata,” which already enticed me to think that this is an alien. Scabiosa is an ideal object for creating art with flowers; however, the scabiosa I use is not the flower but the seed pod. For Scabiosa I work on the media called photopolymer and photoetching. I create unique compositions using scabiosa pods. It is very delicate but it is fun to work with. The media of photopolymer can catch the details of the dried-out looking scabiosa seeds. My goals is to capture the delicate and various textures of these pods.
