Antonis Hadjimichael exposes the London-based print designer’s process, building abstract floral arrangements as a means of catharsis

For Bangkok-born print artist Lisa King, flowers lie at the heart of her process. Compiled in abstract compositions that later become her prints, her flowers are dissected stem to stigma, or with heads severed, as pools of ink diffuse in the water surrounding them. Arising in her practice as a cathartic response that pays tribute to her late mother, the floral arrangements upon which King’s design work is centered have become a symbol of solace – the act of laying and repeating patterns guiding her in processing her grief.

“Through repeating familiar rituals and deconstructing the act of arranging flowers I’ve found renewal, positivity, and healing at the hardest of times. No one has captured the essence of my process or inspiration quite the way Antonis has.”
