Artist Statement:
Latent Potential of Discarded
Things
Seedpods. They are the
wrinkled brown fruit of
flowers. Though devoid of
soft-petaled beauty, they
carry the seeds of
fruitfulness. I am using these
seed pods as a symbol for
things, people, and places
that no longer have their
first-bloom rosiness, but,
when seen in the right light,
are still powerful and have
the potential to bear much
fruit. This body of work
consists of eleven Van Dyke
prints of seedpods.
I chose a process and subject
matter to give a message of
hope. The seedpods represent
the past in that they are from
a tree that we no longer see.
They also represent the
present because that’s what
they are now. And they
represent the future, because
they hold the seeds inside
them of what will become. The
photographic process also
represents the past in that it
is resurrected from the past
to show something in the
present in order to talk about
the future. These small seed
pods are magnified many times
life size in order to bring
attention to something that we
often overlook. The dramatic
lighting makes the seedpods
appear as if they are emerging
from the dark...
