Still, 2005 – 2009photographic series, variable sizes, direct canned flora and insects, archival inkjet print on photographic paper, edition of ten

swipe/drag image

This series is created from flowers, leaves and insects, directly scanned at high resolutions. The results are the beautiful colours and textures of the flowers and petals combined with any dust on the scanner surface, flaws in the scanning process and other unexpected objects like dead bugs. The texture of the petals end up feeling fabric-like or maybe even like skin and the details of the fly and bee are incredible. One viewer upon seeing one of the Still prints said:

Who would have known that...the edge of a dying flower could turn into a wave of an orange ocean, cradling a dead fly that reminds us of a sleeping baby. (Suzanne Smith)
