This week's theme is organic. Last year I was fortunate to have a box of educational skulls delivered to my studio by the wildlife department. My K-4th grade students used them not only to learn about mammals but as studies for our Georgia O'Keeffe inspired paintings. I knew I wanted to photograph them while I had them but didn't know quite what I wanted from them.
With my Project 52, I want to be more mindful as I am composing and spend more time turning over themes in my head. I want to improve my storytelling skills in one single image and force myself to improve my technical skills. I tend to avoid using techniques that I am not familiar with instead of learning them.
From another trip to the California Academy of Sciences, I photographed a wall of foliage in the biosphere area. Again, thinking for a future project. The formulas are from a partially erased chalkboard image online that I could not find a credit source for. The beauty of mathematics and it's connection to the aesthetic world continues to intrigue me.
The results are the compilation of these moments.

Missed week one? Here is the post.
Want to start thinking about next week? The theme is aura/halo. Be inspired by circles, the energy of auras, and Renaissance art of the divine.
