I used Vincent van Gogh’s various sunflower paintings as inspiration for this piece and concentrated on the many different gold/yellow/bronze tones of the flowers. Taking the dark centre out of the sunflowers and using it as the outline of the work, I try to express that whatever ‘darkness’ some of us experience can be seen as a cohesive and positive frame rather than the centre of us.
