Lisa A. Frank
Conservatory (Vertical Still Life Photograph of Tropical Birds & Exotic Flowers)

2015

About the Item

Vertical still life photograph of colorful tropical birds and exotic flowers Archival digital print, 94 x 40 inches. This contemporary, archival digital photograph was made by fine art photographer, Lisa Frank, in 2015. The floral and animal still life print from the artist's 'Specimen Panels' series features a whimsical display of colorful tropical flowers mingled with exotic birds and other small creatures. The colorful array of flora and fauna contrast vividly against the black negative space. Artist's Statement: I make large scale photographs that depict complex patterns. These patterns are composed from elements of nature and are presented in the form of traditional wallpaper designs. Densely ornamental, my artwork draws upon my own background as a textile designer as well as the interior decoration documents of Britain’s Aesthetic Movement of the late 19th century. The patterns are constructed from daily snapshots and scanographs composed in my studio. Combinations of motifs are “sewn” together through extreme image layering and masking. Often working with over 100 layers, a photographic grouping is created and then given a “repeat” structure - a textile design term referring to the way a pattern is set up to tile seamlessly in any direction. The ability of these patterns to endlessly tile creates the potential for multiple size works ranging from large individual prints to full room installations. Choosing to focus on natural elements that are not commonly appreciated or used for decorative purposes, my artwork is connected to the “wildness” in nature even as it is taming it by the creation of formal patterning. Creating a context for connection, it is my hope to draw the viewer into a local world as it hasn’t been seen before: charged with wonder, rich, complex and changeable while being inclusive and accessible.
