Lens Based Photography
Title: Tawny Toadstool Medium: Photography Size: 20.32 cm by 25.4 cm Date of Completion: September 19th, 2020 Exhibition Text"Tawny Toadstool" is a photograph that takes inspiration from two of Imogen Cunningham's pieces, "Agave" and "Glacial Lily (False Hellebore)". The close, abstract form mimics the harshly lighted figures represented in Cunningham's work, lighting strongly emphasized among the top right section of the surface. The smooth and pale form of the mushroom contrasts with the darkened, scattered blades of grass it rests among, emphasizing the hidden and often overlooked beauty of a simple fungus.
