Artist’s Statement
The Australian native ‘Silver Princess’ - Eucalyptus caesia releases its spectacular flowers from under a cap, in a gathered, circular form. Sublime beauty slowly unfurls, revealing the plant’s fine structures and pink shades, detailed in full colour. Inspired by Karl Blossfeldt’s century old publications with his incredible black and white photographs of intense botanical portraits.

Artist’s Statement
Restrictions, limitations, distance. We stay distanced from others. There’s no certainty. Capturing subjects at home, at early stage of the pandemic, saw joy and frustrations reflected. With insight into the expected, more challenging stage ahead, the subjects were posed with intent. The refined, printed format of a book, allows the beholder to experience the journey privately and intimately.
