Tropistic floral portraits in modern-day photograms
In this experimental series portraits of flowers are made by making photograms. These are contact prints without using a camera. It took almost four years to develop this way of making these special photograms with a distinct contemporary look and feel.
This series captures the essence of the fleeting and airy existence of flowers in a watercoloristic way in botanical photograms. The collection forms a contemporary herbarium with compositional references to Ikebana in which the light is allowed to flood the plant like a blistering dawn. The ever expanding collection of this artistic herbarium aims to be a tribute to the magical blossoming and procreation of plant life in all its colours, forms and expression.
