About the Item

This print features the playful relationship between natural forms and botanicals. In this image Erin uses the natural composition of the purple flowers, and her own collage work, to create a hypnotic mandala with the floral. Some describe it as a kaleidoscope effect. The black background serves as a dramatic and supportive contrast to the chrysanthemum flowers. This piece is part of a new collage project called "The Nocturnals". They are a series of large scale photographs where Erin, working digitally and with mindfulness for lighting and composition, builds wholly new imagery using botanicals and natural objects. The results are at once familiar and strikingly unfamiliar. Of the earth yet other worldly. The images are bold, sensual and effervescent with light and color. Amazingly, they are concrete and ethereal simultaneously. And always there is a strong sense of the atmospheric. The prints are of the highest gallery quality, printed on Canson Photo Rag Bright White 310 paper. They are striking up close with so much detail, and a bold statement viewed from a distance. The paper is delicate, so framing under glass is highly recommended. Print will arrive un-framed unless a custom framing option is requested. This is a limited edition of 50, signed print. It will arrive un-framed and shipped in a tube with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
