Rachel Megawhat: Flowers

An exhibition of photographs by Rachel Megawhat.

These flower pictures are described by the artist as being “deeply shallow”. Very deliberately apolitical, these are contemplative works aiming to find objective beauty and eternal truths, as a counterpoint to our super-fast information culture. Votive images that are both sacred and profane.

The images are all made in-camera with minimal post-processing, marking a return to a pre-digital style of photography. All images were taken with Fujifilm-X series cameras. The printing process, chromaluxe, is the most exquisite archival process available in the world today.  Dye-sublimated onto an aluminium surface these scratch, fire and fade resistant prints will last for generations – the antithesis of disposable pixels.
