TITLE: Iconographic Lily Series - 9 - Flapper

In this series, I'm looking to describe the inherent qualities of the Arum lily. By removing the reality linking our minds eye to the flower itself, it allows appreciation of the qualities that make the flower so beautiful. The passages of light over its surface, the texture of the surface, the wonderful shapes, the graceful edging lines, the low-key tones and the magic translucence.
The small curl and implied movement is reminiscent of the 1920's flapper.

AUTHOR: Lyndall Gerlach (Australia)

Eight year trained, Lyndall's studies span Fine Art, Art teaching, and Design and now photograph. After 44 years away from photography, in 2019 Lyndall was lent a camera. The brushes and pencils were shelved, and photographic imaging has become her passion. "When I was a graphic design student in the 1970’s. Photography involved chemicals, red lights, and dark bags, stop baths, paper grades and secret knocks on doors, all a mysterious and wonderful process. I am joyous that all of it has changed, and now I have picked up the camera again in March 2019, and decided that this was the media I wanted. It took 45 years to discover what I loved, photography and digital art. I seem at last to have found a niche to fulfil my creativity. Photography for me at the moment is capturing what I am thinking, exploring, enjoying something interesting, sometimes I think that I am documenting my mind through a lens and sharing it with the viewer”.
