Note du spécialiste

Los Angeles-based artist Welling produced these dramatic floral images by placing plants directly onto sheets of 8x10 film; exposing the film; and then projecting the negatives through a mural enlarger with color filters, onto large sheets of photographic paper. The resulting organic forms, combined with the otherworldly coloration, create a surprising and dazzling contrast.
