In early spring, English woods are carpeted with the rich blues of bluebells, drawing the eye of the camera down to their violet haze at ground level. Yet this is not the only colour to emerge from the fresh greens of new growth and the fading browns of last year’s bracken. A subtler hue—pale pink-magenta—quietly asserts itself. This is the cuckoo flower: less conspicuous than the bluebells, often standing alone, though never for long.
In this piece, I divide the square into two vertical rectangles - one in the golden ratio and then a linking rectangle that contains the photograph. From the colours in this image I construct two arcs to bring the centre into sharp focus.
