Since starting out in 2004, Toronto-based photographer Liz Wolfe has become known for creating colorful, fantastical worlds out of everyday objects. She is inspired by ‘ice cream stands, random meetings with eccentric people on the street, strip malls, dollar stores, Italo Calvino, impromptu garage sales, Haruki Murakami, window displays that incorporate fake food, Werner Herzog, patterns found in nature, Miami Vice (especially Season 2), Man Ray, the modern craft movement, urban vs. rural, industrial design, Stephen Chow, Oliver Sacks, paint chips, lunar landscapes and the overwhelming presence of the sky. This work is from her new series, Flowers.
