Fading Flower Prints on Decor8
Time to get a bit arty now with some stunning prints by Trine Hisdal, as featured on Decor8. Hisdal has put a new spin on the often oversubscribed floral design by photographing flowers whilst dying. The artist says he wants to "document the fragility of flowers and their short lived beauty, and how they look beautiful even as they fade". The pictures are so vivid you can almost smell the fragrance of the petals and see the dew drops tremble. Beautiful, inspiring and downright pretty, I'd love to see these on my wall!
