In partnership with our friends at Squarespace, Hi-Fructose is highlighting five artists who are currently using Squarespace for their website or portfolio. This week’s feature is San Francicsco based artist Tiffanie Turner, who crafts fictitious paper flowers that look remarkably real. Owing to their realism is Turner’s lifelong obsession with botanicals, inspring her to recreate every kind from the common marigolds and poppies to Japanese anemone. Equally impressive is the size of her works measuring nearly 3ft wide. Due to the massive scale of each piece, a single flower can take up to 35-80 hours to assemble from crepe paper. Turner is also an accomplished art curator and organized the Dead of Winter at Rare Device in San Francisco earlier this year, which included some of her flowers. She has recently experimented more and more with dead and dessicated paper flowers which she shares at her blog. There is a poetic irony in her interpretations of florals like browned and decaying wedding peonies. Other recent projects are her alluring two-dimensional pieces done in collaboration with UK based artist Simone Truong.
