Ode to O'Keeffe - Iris Origami Paintings
Inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe’s abstract flower paintings including my favorite, Black Iris, my Iris Origami Series of abstract oil paintings interpret the essential, unfolded structure of the Iris Flower Fold as an origami shape. The larger well-defined shapes and planes push and pull the surface creating an illusion of a sculpted relief, and the enhanced geometric shapes represent the ancient Asian concepts of Yin and Yang.
