Mat Collishaw (continued)

I also found some images of more works by Collishaw. These images were of great interest to me - I did not fully understand the concept behind but in relation to my practice they served as an important connection between natural elements.

"Central to Mat Collishaw’s work are the themes of illusion and desire, which he uses to draw us into an arena where every-day conventions are broken down and questioned." (From link below).

The vibrancy of colours is something that simply brings the pieces to life - makes them more vivid even if they appear unnatual you are still in the belief that they are tropical flowers - it seems as though burst into flames on their own accord.
