Tiffanie Turner is an artist from California who creates these gorgeous flowers using Italian crepe paper. They are way bigger than they seem in the pictures — these gorgeous dahlias, strawflowers, and garden roses span more than 5ft across.
“When I started to choose my specimens for this show, instead of superimposing formal imperfections onto these pieces, I sought out flowers that are beautiful even though they are not perfect,” she explains. “For example, the two strawflowers in the show are two sides of the same coin. One is still bright and colorful, but its center is deformed as it starts to lose moisture. The other is older, its petals slumped back from the fading, greying center. Each are “imperfect”, but both are undeniably still beautiful. Why just keep trying to create more beauty. Why can’t we just see more things as beautiful?”
