there’s a pattern being established

These are the fern frond, now dried, that I posted a week ago. I think I like them dried better. Can you see a pattern being established here? I make an assemblage or composition, and then let it hang around for week or two to see what happens. Often, not always, I find the wilted/dried composition more interesting. I also get two photos for the effort of one–but I can honestly say that’s not why I started this new practice. I am simply finding the imperfect, the wilted, the impermanent more interesting. It could be my own aging, or it could be that the subjects objectively are more interesting in these later stages. You tell me!

Hope you all had a good Holiday weekend!
