About the Item
Life Cycles - Dying Sunflower: This drawing was done in Oil Pastel on Ingres Grey, Textured Pastel Paper. (Early Drawing)
The work is framed in a unique style, using a method called Float Framing. Very suitable for this particular work. The artwork seems to remain suspended, floating on top of the background matte board. Not behind, nor cut into the matte. A tab support is placed on top of the surface of a full matte board. The drawing floats on top of the matte board, behind the glass. When trimmed off with the frame, it makes for a unique piece.
This is an Original Conceptual Sketch. Based on a perpetual interest in the concept of Life Cycles. In this drawing, I considered the gesture and posture of a young Sunflower Sprout, fresh out of the seed in Springtime. In the autumn, the fully grown, dying Sunflower takes on the same shape, and posture when it is near death, with the flower facing the ground. Seasonal opposites! A plant's version of the fetal position. Life Cycles.
