About

Realizing a single charmed moment out of time, a magical vision that stills, Seeds & Stars delves into ancient and enchanted landscapes, roamed by guardian spirit-like animals, shadowed by woods where the holly springs green amongst the bare oaks and beeches. Inspired by the quests of medieval romance poetry — the idea of venturing forth into the wild world of trees and thorns, searching for a glimpse of the white hart, Flora's printing techniques perfectly evoke intricately conjured dreamscapes of gloomy woods and moonlit groves. Etching is the ideal medium for my purpose, with its mysterious blacks and glowing, darkened whites. Working the metal plate to make it show delicate watercolour washes or deep dark gouged marks is endlessly fascinating.
