“Scent is almost palpable.The photographs are motionless, quiet, painterly. Several of the photographs are barely there – flowers subsumed by their velvet and by differently coloured surrounds that frame each one. – The surrounds feed our reading of the specimens like a secret code, as the black text beneath them, denoting Latin or common names, becomes increasingly illegible as we turn the darkest pages – Mystery here affords intrigue in these measured studies.”

Excerpt from the Essay by Anneka French for Photomonitor:

Everything looks different in the dark.
