‘Seeing Shadow Shapes’ – ‘Uncovering a Discovery about a natural Autumn reoccurrence’

Week 2: Thursday, 22nd April. After my second week in the photography studio, I have uncovered many ideas and interests. I have a passion for nature, enjoying both open and voluminous spaces, and the tiny details of natural, organic objects. I adore good design and architecture (old and new), and find long elegant curves that twist and turn, just as beautiful as straight, diagonal angles and three-dimensional forms. I am fascinated by reflective and repetitive patterns, and interlocking shapes in art and architecture.

DISCOVERING and UNCOVERING: I have been using photographic and video processes to encounter, discover and uncover my immediate environment. I have found objects that are inspirational for their shape, form, line and colour right under my nose, and in my immediate environment. Not only do I like to consume fried mushrooms with fresh herbs on buttered toast, but I like to view them in their wild natural state too. (Click on my ‘Fungi Photographic ART Project’ Video below)
