Created in London in 2015 in my Chapel Market Studio, this series was shot with the intention to be featured in a book I was producing, Portraits Nudes Flowers.

I had not photographed flowers since my university days, where I made a series of soft focus roses, Analogy of a Memory, Melbourne 1995. For me, flowers represent emotions, feelings and a state of mind. I see how the most influential fashion designers of the last 100 years have all at one point or another been seduced by the allure of flowers - I am not much different. All three images were shot entirely with natural daylight through a diffused window.

Lonely Brain - what attracted me to this dark red Cockscomb flower was its pure beauty. It intrigued me. Later, when I took it to the studio it showed me another facet of its existence. A quiet and lonely resilience that I felt I had to convey. It seemed lonely to me, a quiet warrior. The head of it also looked like a brain, hence how the name came about.

All these works are mounted on aluminium and presented floating within the frame. Anchored in stillness with the safety of my frames.
