Lotus, Rising

The first drawing of the atelier: a single lotus opening from still, dark water. It became the ‘Lotus Rising Dress’.

Made slowly, by hand

A few moments from the making of this piece: the first lines, the gathering colour, the final breath of gold.

Artist notes

In his words

I wanted the lotus to feel as though it were surfacing rather than posed, rising out of the dark, unhurried, in its own time.

The edition is kept to seventy-five so each piece can be numbered and finished by hand. Limiting it to one per collector keeps the edition wide rather than gathered into a few hands.
