About the exhibition:
Following a significant break in her artistic practice, Salomons picked up her DSLR in autumn 2022 and fitted it with a pinhole lens. With this altered device, she began to explore the shapes, forms, and colours of local flora. She intentionally added movement to the images through holding and moving the camera during long exposures, hoping to capture gestures of the plant forms and the play of light on them. Something of their essence and of the experience of observing and physically connecting with nature was captured. The resulting images are enigmatic, vibrant, and abstracted, while remaining referential to the original subject. Salomons' aim with these images are to invite wider perspectives and experiences into human engagement with natural forms and with nature itself.
