…Blue is a complex colour, invoking meaning on infinite levels. The scale of such images confront us with bare facts. Let’s pay attention, care for this natural world and each other in the process. Hippy values. Hip Hop playfulness. Romantic and Punk irreverence. Enjoy!

…McDuff’s work respects the inherent beauty and creativity of floral life around us. By working with simple photograms, these form an understanding that we can all appreciate as they are documents and representations of what we see in real life….

…This time also afforded her the space to notice how we can find wildflowers in surprising nooks and crannies. To quote David Byrne “once there were parking lots, now there’s a peaceful oasis”…

…As a species, we need biodiversity to thrive and stay alive; the artist came to fully understand this whilst in a slow recovery of illness and found nature a powerful ally in her healing journey…

[Sonia McDuff @soniamcduff]

…Through these mediums McDuff holds close her main values of storytelling, playfulness and sustainability…

[Sonia McDuff @soniamcduff]

…These are all made from original postcard size photograms to highlight the natural world we can find on our doorstep. The artist reimagines these originals as clothing, homewares, fine art prints and as educational tools….
