Single edition, signed canvas wrap
18" wide x 24" high (but could be hung horizontally as well)
This large format image is the result of a multi-part seasonal experiment wherein artist, photographer and printer, Elizabeth Newman Kuiper placed a solid background beneath a flowering camellia shrub and across many months took pictures of the resulting combination of floral and foliage accumulating combined with the reflection of the sky. Each image was a different record documenting the shifting lives of her place based on rain, frost, petal drop, wind, leaf drop, and aggregation and dispersal of objects. It is a poetic and perfect testament to the fleeting and constant beauty of our places in all moments, in specific moments. Of all the resulting images this one moved me the most - reminding me of swirling Galaxies and the whimsical flirtation of Spring as she considers arriving, retreats, and then arrives in her full glory.

Elizabeth Kuiper holds a MFA degree specializing in Digital Photography and Archival Digital Printing from CSU Chico, California. Over the past 15 years, Fine art photographer, artist, and printer, Elizabeth has skillfully used her cell phone camera to capture the world around her from a firm base in her home Northern California garden.
These photographs, when enlarged and printed on various fine art papers and fabrics, undergo a transformation that challenges our perceptions of traditional photography and vision.

The result in her work here for The Art of CP is a collection of garden-based images reflecting earth & sky, the many seasons & the beauty of constant, dynamic change that resonate with a painterly quality, blurring the lines between the ethereal and the tangible. And of course our constant, felt, even when unseen relationship to the Moon and her cycles.
“Kuiper’s mesmerizing photographic works are remarkable artistic alchemy, moody and evocative.”
