About this artwork
I first encountered the work of Karl Blossfeldt when I was an art student studying for a degree in fine art. I was fascinated by the world he opened up using a macro lens. Although the plants he used were common place training a macro lens revealed structures and patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. This salsify seed came from a plant that I grew in my garden's vegetable bed, it is rather like a bigger version of the dandelion seed. As the…
image has a graphic quality I decided to make a composition by repeating the motif of the feathery seed. The image makes a simple but striking statement.

For me photography is a process that can open a window into another world. I specialise in macro photography of botanical subjects. However I do not make scientifically correct images. I use fresh material from my garden and freeze the subjects in deionised water using Petri dishes or large ice cube trays. In a sense this process is a literal freezing of time, analogous to photography itself. Rather than producing ‘tack sharp’ images I use ice to create visual barriers, through bubbles, cracks and distortions to create a sense of other-worldly mystery. The viewer has to work harder to ‘read’ familiar plant forms making the act of seeing more conscious and deliberate. I am now starting to explore mixing deionised water with tap water in different proportions, and how this affects what is revealed and concealed.
