‘Fresh Cut Rose’ Wrought Iron, Brass brushed finish For ‘ROSETTA’ opening 5th December at @jackywinter.gallery

My journey of creating ‘Fresh Cut Roses’ with the Master @theflyinganvil for the upcoming group show ‘ROSETTA’ at @jackywinter.gallery opening Dec 5th.

When @melgrisa invited me to be part of the Rosetta show and mentioned the theme was loosely tied to the rose 🌹 I was honoured, but also completely stumped about what to shoot. It’s not a subject I’d naturally gravitate toward, but I was ready for the challenge. At first, I considered creating something inspired by the energy of “Where the Wild Roses Grow” by Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave. A film clip and song that really stuck with me when I was young. But the more I explored that direction, the more I realised I’m not quite that visually romantic or lyrical in my approach. Months passed, and I still didn’t have much. A standard close-up of a rose or a still life didn’t feel right. So I went back to the photographers who shaped me early on: the punk intensity of @jimsaah , and the gritty, abrasive street work of @daidomoriyamaphotography and @bruce_gilden (references in the slides). I wanted to bring that raw, face-first, abrupt energy into this show. So I set out to shoot roses in full flash images full of contrast, beauty, and confrontation. I ended up capturing the entire series in one night, and it felt exactly right, as though it landed perfectly on the brief I’d set for myself. I can’t wait to share the final works with you when the show opens on the 5th of December @jackywinter.gallery . 🌹
