The Flower Duet

In February, Tamara Dean’s magnificent entanglements of human and natural worlds will reach a wild crescendo with her operatic new series of lushly romantic, hyper-floral photographs, The Flower Duet – a landmark body of work in which lithe figures plunge through prismatic thresholds in a dazzling pas de deux with camellias, roses and other blooms.

While Dean’s fecund fantasias might at first appear like digitally conjured dreamscapes, they are, in fact, an extraordinary feat of practical effects, with the artist immersing and lensing her subjects in actual gardens and elaborately constructed underwater sets.

Works from The Flower Duet by Tamara Dean can now be previewed and acquired by request. Please contact danielsoma@michaelreid.com.au
