Botanical Recombinants
Nature provides humans with all they need to sustain themselves, food, water, materials for shelter and medicinal remedies. Flora is around us all though the varieties may vary from geographical locale to locale. Botanical gardens were created to provide scientific research, conservation, display, and education about plants and their individual environments. The idea of "scientific" gardens used specifically for the study of plants dates back to antiquity. I have been photographing botanical gardens and flora in various countries when I travel. With the current state of climate change, I have decided to create visual recombinants of various plant-life, restructuring their individual forms and beauty into layered re-interpretations. Sometimes the layers peel away or wind around each other notating the cycle of growth and death. I invite the viewer to slow down and investigate this constructed nature and to consider its value.
