Acrylic, oil, thread, gold leaf _ An excerpt from Simon Armitrage's "Floral Tribute" _ Evening will come, however determined the late afternoon, Limes and oaks in their last green flush, pearled in September mist. I have conjured a lily to light these hours, a token of thanks, Zones and auras of soft glare framing the brilliant globes. A promise made and kept for life - that was your gift - Because of which, here is a gift in return, glovewort to some, Each shining bonnet guarded by stern lance-like leaves. The country loaded its whole self into your slender hands, Hands that can rest, now, relieved of a century's weight.

"As I layer, construct and deconstruct; relentlessly cycling through this process, my work is about uncovering and deepening my awareness of past events in my life all the while building strength to endure. I use both digital and analog techniques and methods. Textures are often cut and stitched, propagating recurrent, reformed markings between original works. This work explores the path to strength and often is represented by the construction and deconstruction of fragile elements that “heal” through this process."
