“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
Albert Einstein(1879 – 1955)
In TRANSLUCENCE, photographic artist Jacqui Dean reveals Australia’s flora, both native and introduced – in radically new ways. Dean’s searching vision reduces flowers to their essential, sculptural shapes, translating them into exquisite, archival black and white prints. Calla lilies are seen as never before – with their curved flowers resembling the shape and texture of a crystal goblet. Dean’s delicate images of roses, through composition and digital magic, reveal interlaced petals that mimic the textures of a Tulle bridal veil.
Dean’s delicate, dancing images in TRANSLUCENCE mirror the elegance of Nature while resonating deeply with the work of artists as disparate as photographic pioneer William Henry Fox Talbot(1800-1877) and the affectionate, intricate drawings of Nature by Albrecht Durer. (1471-1528)
Jacqui Deanis a talented Sydney architectural, corporate, and fine-art photographer known for her rigorous sense of composition and peerless black and white printmaking skills. Twenty seven prints will be on display at The Maud Street Photo Gallery during this first Brisbane exhibition of TRANSLUCENCE.
