Orchidaceae: Photographs by Frazier King
April 17, 2008 – June 21, 2008
Through the experience of raising orchids, Frazier King opens a window into their transformative blossoms, which embody anthropomorphic qualities. Using a large format camera, the artist re-creates the environment of each individual orchid onto Polaroid film. Each negative is then solarized (a technique used by artists such as Man Ray) and then printed on silver gelatin paper and toned with selenium.
