Featured Art: Luminous Leaves

“Luminous Leaves,” altered photo by Polly Curran, Sarasota Branch (Florida)

 

Over the past year, Polly Curran stepped out of her comfort zone to explore different techniques, bringing an interesting artistic look to her photography. She investigated the concept of reflectivity and color inversion to see how changes in the natural color bring a new perspective and artistic feeling to an ordinary leaf. The fern leaves featured in Luminous Leaves grow on the trunk of a pindo palm and are shaped differently from normal ground cover ferns. Curran uses these leaves in ikebana arrangements to complete the design.
