Corinne Lewis
Corinne Lewis provides commercial and bespoke floral photography. All artworks art available printed on fine art paper, canvas, perspex and glass.
The work on display is the culmination of several months work that took place in and around Saltwell Park, Gaeteshead. All of these images can be found on display at Saltwell Towers in Saltwell Park.
My work deals with nature- I find I am fascinated by organic and natural forms, more often than not as embodied by plants and flowers. I am repeatedly drawn to the recurrent patterns and shapes that are manifest in nature and that hint at some sense of formulae or ‘blueprint’.
This is an idea first proposed by the Italian mathematician Fibonacci (1170-1250) who identified a sequence of numbers (0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13...) that have been noted to appear in nature: in the formation of seeds on a flower head, the branching patterns of leaves in grasses and flowers and the arrangement of tines on a pine cone. I suppose in a general sense I am interested in exploring the significance and resonance of nature in our daily lives. With such a broad range of species to be found in Saltwell Park it seemed like the perfect place to do this kind of work.
