About the Artwork
Flowers For Janette is a 6’ by 10’ elliptical wall hanging created by painting enamel roses aluminum, and individually mounting hundreds of strips of aluminum together to create a whole image, creating an impressionistic rendering of a rose grouping. The back of each strip is painted with a fluorescent color that reflects onto the surface of the wall and adds a subtle glow.
