Dane Tashima, Photographer, New York

Description

An overhead still life photograph arranged on a patterned textile surface features a large, decorative purple and white transferware plate filled with natural botanical elements. The composition includes a central white poppy, vibrant blue delphiniums, drooping yellow and white blossoms, delicate green foliage, and dark ripe berries. Tucked among the flora is a small dark inkwell bearing a pale cameo relief profile. Additional elements such as beaded necklaces, dried flowers, and small paper notes rest on the textured fabric ground surrounding the plate. The warm, directional lighting accentuates the organic textures of the petals, leaves, and patterned surfaces.
