Pretty Petals explores the interplay of folded elements and vibrant color, expanding on my previous work with dimensional paper art. Inspired by the technique used in Lifted Triangles, I wanted to create a new piece that incorporated folded up parts.

When drawing the shapes for this piece, I initially selected random colors simply to differentiate them. These colors selected without intention evoked a floral quality I loved, ultimately leading to the title Pretty Petals. This artwork features some of the largest individual paper pieces I've ever incorporated into a single work. Despite its size, the piece was created surprisingly quickly due to the dimensions of the paper shapes.
