Artists tend to work with the tools they are familiar with. Just about
every graphic designer I know has scanned a three dimensional object at
one time or another, but in the fall of 2007 I began to do so in
earnest. Each day I'd collect small bits of plants on my morning walk
and spend hours enlarging them many times their original size with my
flatbed scanner. The results were stunning and ultimately led to my
Roadside Flowers series.
