About The Work
This edition has been produced on the occasion of The Botanical Mind,Art, Mysticism and the Cosmic Tree, 2020. For years, I’ve been laying leaves and pills onto photographic paper in order to capture the shadow of real things into photograms. This is the first time I’ve used a digital scanner to capture the prearranged image. The resulting image of the leaves is captured at full scale and contains their original color and texture. I printed the image and then cut it up and painted it. This work extends my investigation of art as a perceptual modification activity while blurring the difference between the real, the photographic, and the painterly. - Fred Tomaselli
