About the Item
Vicki McKenna’s “Balloon Milkweed/Memories” is a 8 x 10 inch (image size), 14 x 16 inches (matted), handcrafted, platinum/palladium, photographic print. The contemporary black and white botanical still life shows a cluster of small flowers highlighted by a leaf. The background is filled with the unopened seed pods. The overall effect is that the flowers are floating among the clouds. The delicate lighting and soft shadows highlight the shape and details of the blooms. Overall, this image is a delicate exploration of form, texture, and light, capturing a quiet moment of natural elegance with artistic sensitivity. Edition of three. This image is included in the “In the Presence of Plants” series.
This print was created using a variation on historic processes of the late 19th and early to mid 20th centuries. Platinum/palladium prints are known for having a rich black and subtle mid-tones. The uneven, edges are created by the hand-coating of the light sensitive solution.
The print is signed, dated, and editioned on the verso. As is traditional the verso also includes details on the chemistry and exposure time used in making the print. The print is sold matted.
As a geologist and teacher, Vicki McKenna started taking photographs to illustrate concepts to her students, but soon became intrigued by the challenges of representing a three-dimensional world with an engaging, two-dimensional image. While it is not surprising that McKenna is drawn to photograph the natural landscape, her interests are broad-ranging, and a fascination with architecture means she is also interested in the built environment. McKenna is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.
