A time for everything.
2010.
520 x 415mm.
Pigment ink on paper.
Finalist - 2010 Walker & Hall Waiheke Art Awards. Selected by Sara Hughes. First shown at the Waiheke Community Art Gallery, Waiheke Island, New Zealand.
In the photograph ‘A time for everything’, a bouquet of flowers has been documented as it transitions from something considered beautiful, to that which is no longer valued and is discarded. Passing from a state of living, to that of death. Over the two-week period this took to occur, the camera has continuously recorded every second of the journey into a single collective visual experience. The resulting image reveals a form of beauty that is greater than its original appearance.
