In a long-ago gig working in a florist’s shop, artist Amanda Evanston was tasked with receiving the wholesale deliveries of greens and flowers, unwrapping them, and stocking the walk-in cooler from which the professional florists made selections to arrange into bouquets.
In my current foray into becoming a(n amateur) collage florist, I selected two photos of floral arrangements that appeal to me to which I’ll refer for approximate gestural ideas of the direction I want to go on my canvas.
In order to move in that direction, I collected fodder from my stash of hand-painted collage papers and stocked my metaphorical walk-in cooler. I began by putting some greens in place to provide structure and architecture for creating my expression of the aforementioned floral arrangement.
