Barbadian photographer Leslie Taylor brings a fresh view to " Dirty Flowers and Old Boats " at the group show at The Main Guard, The Garrison, Barbados, April 12 - 22 2007.
Known for her lyrical yet unexpected treatment of local flora, landscape and environment, this new view explores the "dirty" underside of flowers with allusions to aging, abuse and sexuality. Inspection of the conventionally pretty surfaces of these black and white images leads the viewer to a contemplation of the role on imperfection in beauty. A surprising connection is made between leaves and petals and the metal and timber of " old boats ".
Fans of her previous showings in Barbados and Miami will not be disappointed with this new exposition.
