About the Item

Copperhead is a 24" x 24" Lightjet Print from a Limited Edition of 15 in this size 'Copperhead' is seductive, copper-hued depiction of one of the iconic Exbury Nerines. In contrast to her other portraits of the Nerines at Exbury, where abundant bouquets of stunningly hued and curvaceous Nerines are presented against a pure black backdrop, Copperhead retreats into comparative modesty as Creagh depicts the seven blooms that have opened overnight, leaving a pleasing five yet to blossom and open in the center. The interest in this portrait is that Creagh allows the viewer to see the green stems and dried petals of Nerines that have already flowered, depicting a miniature lifecycle before our eyes. Combining a highly technical practice-based and digital methodology, Lisa Creagh reveals the beauty of this flower and emphasises its characteristic petals through the light-hand of digital manipulation. In this project, commissioned by Lionel de Rothschild, Lisa Creagh plays the role of botanical documenter, capturing the fascinating and diverse forms of the Exbury Nerines. The Nerines collection is iconic to Exbury, an estate garden open to the public in the South-West of England. Started by Lionel de Rothschild's grandfather between the First and Second World Wars, they are hybrids of the Nerine Sarniensis, also called the Guernsey Lily or Raquel. Creagh established a small studio on the Exbury estate, and performed a daily survey in the greenhouses to identify which flowers had bloomed overnight. The result is as a magnificent array of color and texture as one could imagine. In Creagh's own words: "Every day was a dose of color therapy as I walked between rows of abundant blooms." Available as 12" x 12" Lightjet Print from a Limited Edition of 15
