Introduction - K Stadel
Hello, I should have done this a while ago. My name is Kelly Stadel and welcome to my photography page. This was made for my photography II class and am using it to upload the images that I am making for this class. I like mostly exploring small things, I want to be close to everything. So small things is just something that I mostly want to explore most of the time.
Well, nice to meet you!

P5 Artist Statement
For this project I wished to do a transformation idea, so I thought about what would be something that could change easily in just one week, then the idea hit me flowers. Recently my mother and I have been saving flowers that we have received as gifts and been drying them to help persevere them. We have done that with my sister’s flowers from her wedding, more recently my mother has done this with the bouquet of roses that I had given to her for Mother’s day. We want to preserve those things that haven given us a sense of joy in life. But at the sametime our memories do fade, they can wither, sometimes those things are not as fresh as they used to be, like a drying bouquet of flowers. The dried flowers are still pretty by their own means, but they are still dulled. They are still not what they used to be. Nothing can be completely preserved, things still will decompose and rot, but we try to keep them fresh all the time. We want these things to remain the same all the time. I suppose my interest in death has something to do with all this, the passing from one stage to the next. But memories and they are fuzzy memories that are fading day by day, thus the withering flowers. Receiving flowers are a huge part of memories, but like I said those memories will become vague overtime and will lose the luster that they once possessed.
