Fugitive Fleurs December 6, 2009

Fugitives Fleurs
A photographic exhibition of a unique perspective on Floral Fragments
Photography can freeze a moment in time and allow one to view objects from a different perspective. By capturing floral fragments as a vector of emotion, time and identity, Joyce Wye Ho's macro portraits of flowers are a revelation of luminous colours and abstract, often ethereal forms, offering us a glimpse into undiscovered worlds and trajectories.

From 7 to 20 December, visitors to the Singapore Botanic Gardens will be able to view a series of floral-related portraits photographed by Joyce, a Singaporean artist based in the UK.

Joyce tries to highlight the moment lived, rather than the sense of its loss, through her floral fragments' imagery. In doing so, she hopes to evoke a certain poignancy relating to the poetic transience and cyclical nature of life and allow visitors to reflect on the way they feel, perceive, remember and dream.

Photography enthusiasts, art and nature lovers and members of the public who wish to interact with Joyce and find out more about her works and inspiration are cordially invited to a talk by the artist on Friday 11 December at 4pm as well as a 'Meet the Artist' session on Saturday, 12 December from 1pm to 6pm.
