Travis Bedel puts together two extremely unlikely entities in his latest pieces: art with florals and body parts. Most would not think these two things would go together, but Bedel manages to integrate them seamlessly.
The collages contain everything from spines to stunning florals that intertwine throughout veins and arteries. This may sound bloody and gruesome to some people, but upon looking at these art collages it's clear that this was not Bedel's intention. Even though arteries and hearts are not normally attractive, the way Bedel combines them with daffodils and roses is impressive. In one piece of artwork he even throws in an octopus and what looks like butterflies.
Not many artists can pull off art with florals and the insides of humans, but Bedel has achieved this feat.
