Artist Statement
My Botaniscopes series focuses on botanical life in nature, particularly plants and trees of the South. I use botanical photography to pair together the exact mirrored reflections of the photos.
The new work is a project of imagined images that are simultaneously modern, contemporary, abstract, surreal, and take on a kaleidoscope and/or Rorschach test feel.
Through the influence of life, science fiction, and fantasy, I aim to enhance a viewer’s perception of our environment and our relationship with nature. All of the images in this series can be enjoyed vertically or horizontally.
