REDOUTÉ SERIES
In 2022, during my second battle with cancer and recovery from multiple tumor-removal surgeries, I turned to the botanical legacy of Pierre-Joseph Redouté.
Working within physical restraint, I reimagined his spirit through a contemporary visual language shaped by intuition and gesture.
I carefully removed individual pages from an edition I had held onto for nearly a decade, long with the sense that they would serve a purpose at some point in my life. That moment arrived in 2022, during my second battle with cancer, following a series of tumor-removal surgeries involving the brain, lower abdomen, and lung.
Recovery imposed physical limitations and a slower rhythm of working, yet it also created a space of heightened focus. This was not a period defined by suffering, but by concentration—an opportunity to explore new frontiers within my practice while working from a place of restraint rather than excess.
Throughout this time, I returned to the botanical prints of Pierre-Joseph Redouté, whose precision, restraint, and devotion to form had long resonated with me. By asking a simple question: what might Redouté create if he were alive today, with everything we now know? The direction of the series became clear. The aim was not imitation, but embodiment: to carry his spirit forward through a contemporary visual language shaped by intuition, gesture, and present-day awareness.
Each work maintains a botanical foundation while allowing subtle disruption and immediacy to enter the surface. The images are intimate in scale, each measuring 10 × 13 inches, and exist as original works. At present, select pieces from the series are available in limited editions.
