Given the subject of organic matter, I chose these specific plants to batik because although they may be beautiful, they are not commonly affiliated with the habitual subject found among artists of a decorous and innocuous composition filled with roses or daisies. Overall my goal with this piece was to show people something different that is both aesthetic but not customarily regarded as such.

I enjoy art for about the same reason I enjoy films and books so much; because it provides an interesting perspective on certain topics, allows the creator to express themselves, and because they can look really cool. I don’t think this piece means much at all, I just wanted to see if I could accomplish the same transparency/depth effects from watercolor landscapes with the batik process. But art in general means a lot to me, because I enjoy the feeling of artistic freedom and the ability to express myself in any way i choose; the same way any director or writer feels. I think that creating is just part of human nature, whether it be a story, a person, or a painting of a bunch of flowers in an open field.
