GONE
My Dad and I feverishly started an obsession with growing plants from seed around the same time, 11 years ago now. Over the years we’ve swapped seeds and ideas, He has a lovely garden now, and it was only a matter of time the garden would enter his work.
His newest photo book explores the concept of Panspermia- the theory that life may have originated elsewhere in the universe and spread to Earth through space. The word comes from the Greek pas/pan meaning “all” and sperma meaning “seed”.
A thoughtfully woven selection of photographs, cyanotypes, and 19th century salt prints, he’s propositioning that plants are the basis of our consciousness as human beings. A unique way of looking at the weirdness of flowers, “Gone” is a beautiful exploration of plants ruling the world.
