‘Illustrated Woodland’
‘Illustrated Woodland’ is a mixed media documentation of the expansive woodland environment. The immersive images in this series are packed to the frame with organic matter; aiming to give the illusion of being enveloped by nature whilst showcasing the beauty that can be found here.
This installation has two strands following the same theme of woodland documentation. First is that of the panorama images consisting of mulitple photographs stitched together post-production which are bursting with vibrancy and colour. These photographs are a visual and literal record of the topographic landscape intended to have a calming influence.
The second set of images included here follow an interactive, abstract route and are made up of natural plant matter which is intensely compressed to watercolour paper and boiled with iron modifiers. The dyes from the plants in the landscape create their own aesthetic images as a form of camera-less photography.
