I'm reposting everything from my old Instagram, to keep my archive and have a record of my work's development. I'm adding commentary below the original text.
This is from 10 January 2019
Monotropa uniflora, finished. Silicone flowers with electronic parts on a base of painted paper leaves, paper twigs and paper soil. Combined with needle felted and embroidered lichen. In my Etsy store tomorrow. (Link in bio)
(It has long been sold, but I'm open to commissions.) I'm still pretty happy with this one. It is nice and silent—a quality I like. A quality that doesn’t even seem to be recognized as a quality. But it is—though it’s hard to describe exactly what I mean. It’s something that simply exists, without needing sound or loudness to justify its presence. It does not need "bombarie," a Dutch word meaning an unnecessary spectacle.
