Florae
Black and white floral images of the Florae series follow
in the rich tradition and history of botanical photography. The
simple, singular arrangement of each flower subject relates a meditative
connection with nature. Polaroid Type 55 film is used and a technique
of “solarization” is applied, giving the painterly effect
of a thin black line around the petals, leaves and stems.
