Watercolor paper and watercolor paint, plus a little bit of bookbinding glue, these are the materials for the method I have developed, inspired by the many traditions of flower making and paper crafts. My main tools are tiny scissors and a pointy paintbrush, and it is a slow process that produces little waste. I never use ready-made parts or templates. I’m most interested in flowers that grow in my own surroundings, the city edges of Amsterdam, or those I come across in any public space or wild environment. I went to art school when I was very young, but my main education is as an Art Historian, and I still sometimes work within that field too.
