Dark Flora #, Horsetail, A floral arrangement of wild plants and flowers

2020

About the Item

Dark Flora #6 – Horsetail: Foraged from a damp, boggy area of woodland in mid-summer. It includes Horsetail (Marestail), buckthorn, mallow, tutsan berry, blackberry and heather. I set out wanting to use marestail (or horsetail) as a focus and had a few places in mind where I thought I might find it - alas, the plant eluded me. After several hours I came across an area I seldom visit and thought I’d have a look over the far side of a pond where I could tell the land dipped; it was almost like the universe knew I wanted to take this photo because there was the marestail mother lode! These few that I collected had to be cut down by half at least so that they’d fit in the frame. Much maligned by gardeners due to their highly invasive habits, they are nevertheless beautiful plants with a distinctly prehistoric vibe. Horsetail has changed little from its ancestors of the Carboniferous period which makes this arrangement feel almost primordial... Inspired by Victorian era taxidermy dioramas, Dark Flora is a series of photographs using wild plants and flowers in a curated yet naturalistic arrangement. The plants are foraged from forest clearings, hedgerows and roadside verges, often using humble and unassuming species rather than showy specimens so often used in floral photography. Each arrangement is gathered from within approximately a square mile and therefore represent seasonal ‘portraits’ of the local environments from which they came. Framing: Print is float mounted on aluminium dibond, hardwood frame (for instance Oak or Walnut), finished with antireflective UV protective art glass Unframed print is also available - please enquire for more details

The works aim to challenge the conventional perception of depth within the medium of photography by showing different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space. The chiaroscuro lighting embraces shadows and light as juxta- positional tools to deconstruct familiar objects and transform them into surreal compositions. Sander Vos...

  • Persephone III - large format photograph of a timeless environmental still
    By Erik Pawassar
    Located in San Francisco, CA
    large scale original photograph from the body of works 'Persephone', a series of environmental still-life photographs of timeless palimpsest impressions Persephone III by Erik Pawassar 40 x 31 inches (102 x 79cm) signed edition of 25 62 x 48 inches (157 x 122cm) signed edition of 7 archival fine art pigment print signed & numbered by artist on label custom/larger sizes are available on request ____________________________ Erik Pawassar's work focuses on the beauty of the disregarded or mundane object. The subjects for his striking and captivating visuals are typically set in the most ordinary environments, drawing the viewer into a charged but serene experience based on composition, palette and formal lines. Saturated in color, the nominal subjects gather a haunting and mesmerizing quality, creating a poignant pretext for the making of a formal color photograph. Decisively capturing the traces left by humanity, Pawassar's images are filled with a sense of universal nostalgia and pay homage to the passage of time and the extinguished moment, referencing documentary and street photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sebastian Salgado...
