Mallory (Mal) Strunk Zealous Designs Taylorsville, Utah zealousdesignshop.com @malthecreative Photography by Taylor Elaine Photography @taylor.elaine.photo It's important to me to reduce my art's impact on our world, so I use sustainable mechanics and source locally grown flowers, whenever possible. is installation was inspired by the color wheel because of all the colors of flowers and foliages provided by Certified American Grown. I color- blocked the flowers to meld from one hue to the next and to give the eyes the feeling of circling the color wheel. I also wanted to give little nods to different elements of nature, like rain, a lush meadow and the sun. I am grateful for the opportunity to create with these incredible American-grown flowers and foliages.
