About
When Claude Monet settled in Giverny in 1883, he designed a flower garden full of impressive colour compositions for observing light and time. The American artist Sarah Schorr understands Monets garden as a creative, living laboratory. From the tiny teardrops of rain to the steady stream feeding the water lily pond, the images in this book were inspired by the movement of water in Monets garden. By collecting fallen, injured flowers in Monets historic green spaces, Schorr transforms them into striking works of art by bringing them to life with paint, light, paper, water, and photography. These experimental still lifes were created using living plants and local water as ingredients. The result is an evocative artists journal in which Schorr evokes the fragility of nature and illuminates the complex interplay of climate change, beauty, and loss.
