Artwork Description

The series ‘Silent Bloom’ is an extensive series exploring the many emotions, stages of development and life of my daughter.

'She acts with strength and liveliness which reveals her grace in silent bloom'

The series is inspired from my life as a parent, being part of my daughter’s process of growth, nurture and development. Over the years I have watched my daughter grow and explore her way through life in what at times is a chaotic commotion, however there are moments of pause which bring wonder and beauty.

Roses are used to represent my daughter across the series with coloured lights designed to bring out a toddler’s energy and playfulness. Movement is used within the images to showcase the chaotic commotion while the photography medium captures the moment for pause that allows you to look beyond revealing something truly beautiful.

Art to be provided as a print only on Canson Rag Photography Paper. The print is provided with a 5 cm border with the image 80cm x 120cm and the full paper size 90cm x 130cm
Printed to order and will leave studio for printing within 3 days, printing turnaround is normally 4 days with the artwork to be sent directly after.

Authenticity

Artist Bio

I am an Australian contemporary art photographer with South Korean Heritage. I use my art to interpret emotions, ideas and events exposed in my life. Botanicals displayed in an activated sculptural way are regular featured within my work to conceptually represent these ideas. Layering of paint, smoke and fire are also regularly showcased.
Formally trained as a commercial photographer with strong knowledge in film and darkroom artistry I approach my work with the technique of modern commercial media.
