Robert Sherwood Duffield - Botanical Mysteries

Venue: Tanks Arts Centre

8:30am Wednesday 2nd November 2022

Wed 05 Oct - Mon 07 Nov

LAUNCH: 10AM WEDNESDAY 5 OCTOBER

Award-winning artist, Robert Sherwood Duffield has spent four weeks as artist in residence at the Tanks Arts Centre and Cairns Botanic Gardens. The result is a unique look at our region’s flora.

Robert’s photography uses an individual technique to capture the finest detail. Flowers float in an ethereal universal pictorial world that highlights both their mystery and uniqueness.

‘Flowers and plants are a transient, explosive gift of colour, form, and even fragrance. They are emblems of desire; gifts beyond calculation that speak to us of our own nature.

Art and science are religions and Nature is their scripture. Come and listen with your eyes and feast upon their message of beauty and hope.’

Roberts’s methodology looks at and records the flora using an experimental technique developed through research and experimentation with photographic methods. This is a show not to be missed.
