Concept

Memory and time, perception and reality, these are the themes running through the imagery of photographer Sarah Morton. Based in western Scotland on the Kintyre peninsula, Sarah's work is deeply influenced by the extraordinary changing northern hemisphere light and atmospherics. The proximity of water and mountains all along the west coast of Scotland is her backdrop and much of her work resonates with the power and drama of the seas and winds. As a direct contrast Sarah has an ongoing fascination with floral and botanical art. Both her grandmother and mother grew roses and Sarah's photographs of the flowers in her garden are some of her most sought after. Working with Japanese washi papers has been a revelation for Sarah's botanical art and the delicacy of the image is beautifully complemented by the fine grain of the hand made papers from Japan. She prints all her own work and frames and mounts prints if requested. All her images are printed to order on a selection of fine art papers from Hahnemuhle, Canson and Awagami.

“From a Wild Flower Meadow”

Images of flowers from my garden rendered more as paintings or drawings. I like to subvert my photography into something more artistic and painterly and I started with these images.

“Transient Imagery”

Made using old photographic paper, leaves, stems, vinegar, water and lemon juice and a bit of sunshine. These images were captured on my scanner before they faded as I had no fixer or stop to keep them as photograms.

“Floral Arrangements”

Dried and silk flowers placed on a scanner and digitally edited. A camera-less photographic process which nevertheless captures an image as if through a lens.
