Print Exchange 2023: Pauline Prat

I composed this image as I would have composed a bouquet (I’m also a florist), by placing elements in relation to each other, like a collage. I draw directly with drypoint on a plexiglass plate. The fly and the flowers are not there for their symbolism. I find it interesting to look at all living things, even those that seem the most banal or vulgar… and not to discredit them according to scales of values ​​but to consider them as a set of forms and in all their otherness of beings living. The flowers are beautiful, but the fly has its beauty too. I like to give an atmosphere to the images I make, and that’s why I chose this specific blue for this image which represents a scene suspended in time.
