Abstract nominee

Nature is full of patterns. If you take the time to really look there are incredible things to see. This series is made up of images of nature that are patterns of patterns: 1) Pink lily surrounded by ferns, 2) Pink and white lily patterns, 3) a pattern of lily flowers surrounded by lily bud patterns, 4) White orchids on a bed of ferns, 5) Purple passion flower with raindrops and tendril border.

Focusing on patterns, mainly in their garden, Dick and Rosanne’s photographic images celebrate the graceful and extraordinary sacred geometry of nature. The photos are enhanced by reflecting images making new patterns that evoke the meditative and reflective qualities of mandalas. This draws you deeper into the image as your mind becomes more engaged with what it is seeing. The often-spectacular forms and shapes of common plants that might have otherwise gone unnoticed are revealed. New patterns and details emerge. New stories are told. New worlds are revealed among the mundane reality we live in.

This work has given them an increased appreciation of their environment and nature in general. They hope it does the same for you. With a focus on nature, you find this is an incredible place to be.
