What makes a Poppy composition.

What makes a poppy composition?

Each poppy work begins with a collection of small painted panels. Individually they are simple — gestures of colour, texture and surface. Together they become a composition.

I rarely begin with a fixed image in mind. Instead, panels are placed, moved and rearranged until something settles. A quiet balance appears — not through precision, but through attention.

Because the panels remain movable, the composition is never completely fixed. It can shift slightly, expand with new pieces, or be rearranged entirely.

This is part of the idea behind poppy: a composition that can continue evolving long after it leaves the studio, shaped quietly over time by the person who lives with it.
