Tiffanie Turner

Tiffanie Turner

 

Tiffanie, born in 1970 in New York State, grew up in the woods of New Hampshire. Having secured her diploma in Architecture, she worked in this field for 15 years before launching her career as a Botanical Sculptor.

 

A San Franciscan for more than 20 years, Tiffanie is now known as a master in the art of creating paper flowers and botanical paper techniques in general. She practices her art both in America and abroad.

Through her giant sculptures, whose colossal size both moves and astonishes the visitor, Tiffanie recreates floral diversity with amazing precision. Each of her incredibly lifelike flowers has taken between 250 and 400 hours of work. Nature’s rhythms and patterns, her irregularities and her charming flaws are the raw materials from which Tiffanie creates her breathtaking botanical artwork, intense and enchanting in all the stages presented, from tiny buds to wilting and decay.

 

For Tiffanie, flowers have a unique ability to speak to each individual and to bring people together. Their beauty attracts us, their perfumes delight our senses. Everybody recognises a flower, making Tiffanie’s creations instantly accessible. However the preternaturally large scale of some of her flowers seems to defy the law of dimensions. Each detail is bigger, more surprising, more amusing. Childhood memories resurface, the mysteries of Nature reappear, and their stories are told. Visitors are challenged to reconsider their relationship with the world, with their environment, with Nature herself.

 

Beauty, authenticity, simplicity, these are values shared by both Tiffanie and Adler. Tiffanie’s artistic vision is original, extravagant, without concessions, and her new artistic project in a pastel palette, embarks the viewer on a unique floral adventure.
