Organic materials

Rose petals are beautiful once they start to decay, they fade in colour and become delicate and frail. Makes them perfect material to make a transient necklace for my beauty in the decay project.

Workspace

My work studio at university, all set up and ready for interim assessments next week. I always find having inspiration from makers, photographers and artists, and also from nature itself. Although I am inspired by all decay within nature, this project I am focusing on sycamore seeds, rose petals and skeleton leaves. As there is so much in nature you can get carried away and do too much but not get it all finished I find, so I have decided to limit myself for this studio practice project. 

Billy Kidd photography | Decayed leaves

Billy Kidd photography, these are decaying leaves, they curl up on themselves and there colour fades and they become crisp and light to touch. Fragile and delicate.

Billy Kidd is a photographer, this project was something different to what he usually does. It is called Decayed flowers. They are absolutely beautiful.. To me these photos prove that decaying flowers are even more beautiful once they have started to wilt and decay, dying flowers change colour and have a faint hint of colour and life. 

Installation in my workspace

Little installation piece i done at the beginning of my studio practice project.. To get into it.. It's inspired by an installation artist. Mine was inspired by decay in nature.. Starting with colour and life with the dragonflies and butterflies starting to die and de-colour
