About the Item
This print features the playful relationship between natural forms and botanicals. In this image Erin uses the natural composition of the pink, blush, peach and yellows of the Dahlia, and her own collage work, to create a hypnotic mandala with the botanicals. Some describe it as a kaleidoscope effect. This particular image was taken just after a rain and the teal/green background serves as a bold and colorful backdrop to the floral.
This piece is part of an ongoing collage project working natural objects and botanicals. 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 Hahnemühle or 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.
The print is un-framed, but various framing options are available.
This is a limited edition of 50, signed print. It will arrive with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

About the artist: Erin Derby (b.1975. San Jose, CA) graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a BA in both Film and Latin American & Iberian Studies. Her early career was primarily photojournalism. Over time she evolved a fine art cynosure balanced with considerable commercial photography success. In the latter, she continues to do portraiture, interiors and still-life work. Her early fine art work explored expired 4x5 polaroid and 35mm film, with its painterly quality. The strong imperfections of these aged mediums as well as their eroded hues communicated an ethereal quality to her botanical images. In her more recent work, “Reimagining Nature & The Nocturnals” and “Mythical”, she has returned to botanicals. Working digitally and with her unique mindfulness for lighting and detail, she builds wholly new imagery. These results are at once familiar and strikingly unfamiliar. Erin’s botanical photography celebrates the beauty, fragility, and vibrancy of nature, capturing fleeting moments of natural life in vivid detail. She aims to create timeless images that convey a sense of awe and wonder when interacting with the natural world. In her work Erin strives to evoke an emotional response from her audience by capturing the delicate, ever-changing beauty of botanical life. Erin’s recent work was awarded the 2020 Prix de la Photographie Paris Bronze award, and an AI-AP American Photography selected winner. Her commercial work is widely published, including Architectural Digest, Epoca Magazine, House Beautiful as well as commissions for Donna Karan, Herman Miller, Gensler, Duralee, and Michael Aram. Erin Derby lives in Brooklyn, NY.
