Experimental nominee

I capture many photographs of a particular flower field and the surrounding area. I digitally arrange these photographs in many layers to create an abstract version of a field of flowers. Each image is selected to paint dreamlike moods and surreal atmospheres that are layered on top of one another. The visual, smells, sounds, thoughts and life experiences with nature are all influences that connect me to taking the photographs and creating the final image. It is a collaboration between artist, nature and modern technology.
