I create flowers out of steel, a material chosen by industry for its strength, and reliability. These flowers are meant to challenge the cultural assumption of a flower, to be soft, to be blown about by the whims of the wind, to be trampled. I challenge the ideas of femininity with these, they may be flowers, but they are strong. This is my defiance through my labor, my hammering, my welding, I give a voice of femininity to a material that is thought of as largely male.

Materials:

Forged Steel, Fold formed steel, Casting Plastic, Blue Pigment
