Within the glasshouse of the Botanical Gardens, a tropical Begonia rests low to the ground—its textured greens and deep purples quietly commanding attention.
My conjoined curves converge into a gothic-like arch, suspended within the frame.
In the Oxford Botanical Gardens, the young Buckeye plant displays its striking maroon leaves. As summer unfolds, these rich hues will gradually shift to green. The colours in the arcs and rectangles echo the hues and tones found by the camera’s sensor.
On the lock island in the Thames the Burberry is showing the leaves in vibrant reds and greens. The yellow flowers are gradually revealed making it possible for me to develop an exciting palette of colours for the geometric shapes.
In the green houses of the Oxford Botanical Gardens we find glorious colours that inspire composition for this combination of curves, lines and rectangles. The Golden Rectangle its subdivided to provide balance and focus.
