About the Item
Alexandra Penney's extensive body of work includes a variety of subjects. Typically her photographs, most of which are large-scale, and digitally manipulated, unique prints, evolve through compound iterations in her search to understand what has drawn her to each respective subject. Recent series are focused on watercolour flowers that slowly morph into abstractions once again exploring the impermanence of the natural world.
