HOME BOTANICAL 2 TEXTILES PERSONAL LINKS CONTACT Botanical Images Although there is nothing new about botanical images, my work is more about seeing and feeling the impact of colour, pattern and texture within the subject, and to see beyond the capabilities of the naked eye. Through study, macro photography and computer generated magnification I have produced a series of digital images which bring into visibility many of these underlying qualities, revealing details that may otherwise have remained unnoticed. Inspiration As a horticulturist, keeping a photographic record of my garden seemed to be a fairly basic thing to do. However, as I had a closer look, this fascination for study well beyond recording and documentation began. As I peered deeply into this botanical creation, and with aid of modern technology, I encountered a ‘whole new world’ out there, a world of unique shapes and hidden structures with many patterns of symmetry. It was as though I had discovered another dimension. I felt a need to bring into view and share all the curious things I was seeing. The one thing I found most surprising, was all these thoughts and visions of amazement were part of my quite ordinary English garden, where until now I had always looked and admired but never seen. The Images are printed
