In my latest work, the Magnolia series, I am using nature to transform nature – using rippled water to gently transform the appearance of the flowers. The images are all as shot in camera, without the use of Photoshop. I love the painterly, dream-like images that result – the botanical world as a felt experience that goes beyond familiar observation. I hope the images allow space for the viewer to bring their own emotions and contemplations to the photographs. There’s a quote from American painter Georgia O’Keeffe that I particularly love and which I feel captures the intent of this series: “When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.” – Georgia O’Keeffe
