Perky Wallflower is a small study where I was using found images to explore a 'canvasing' aesthetic. I chose this title because of it's discreet size and 'perky' pattern. Below is an excerpt from wikipedia regarding wallflowers:

~ A wallflower is someone with an introverted personality type (or in more extreme cases, social anxiety) who will attend parties and social gatherings but will usually distance themselves from the crowd and actively avoid being in the limelight ...

~The name itself derives from eponymous plant's unusual growth pattern; against a wall as a stake or in cracks and gaps in stone walls .
