Portrait features the Pagani Huayra in a Blue Poppy-inspired, automotive, floral design.
Inspired by the word play of a familiar idiom and the archetypal botanical print, Heidi handcrafted the semblance of exotic flowers out of layered paper cut from car magazines and images taken from her own camera and ‘rooted’ them to a bed of brushed aluminum sheet metal. These colorful, engineered ‘power plants’ are masterfully styled similar to a vintage floral print. Botanical descriptions are replaced with car statistics and black line drawings are made of the featured vehicles rather than flowers. Petal to the Metal conceptually reimagines automotive art and propagates the idea that beauty can be found in both nature and machine.
