Still Life

‘Still Life’ is an ode to Dutch 17th century artist Rachel Ruysch, who was exquisite in painting flowers. Like much of Carola’s work, this piece explores themes of individuality and connections, in human life and in the natural world. Flowers and feathers come together in one piece, with little details as a dead poppy head and a butterfly. The flowers are attached to narrow wire, so it can be moved slightly in personally favourable directions.
