Padièscapes

My need at that time was to challenge my secure way of producing images.

I wanted to produce photographs that appeared as three dimensional, bringing the observer into the photograph. I envisaged TheWaterCube (a plexiglass cube of water) as the base.  I used water to blend colours fluidly. Desiring to produce three-dimensional images, like a child with a palette of colours, I played with the colours the flowers inspired, bridging the gap between the tangible and the imaginative. Rather than remaining within the confines of the original subect, I was using colour, water, and light to enable me to travel from the smallest detail of the flower to a more distant and intangible dimension. Without the cube I continued to challenge my vision and storytelling, opening the door to another vision of colour and its meaning in nature.

I was inspired by the idea of becoming the landscaper for our garden at Padiès. The flowers created environments for me to use in the Padièscapes concept. Each growth phase was recorded, to be created into multiples, showing the progress of the garden over time.  In the years to come hopefully it will be for the pleasure of future inhabitants and lovers of gardens. It will remain a dialogue with nature and my history.
