Sally Paterson, Raw Beauty (ART 2025)

This series 'Raw Beauty' celebrates the stillness and beauty of some of my favourite vegetables. Often overlooked in favour of more traditional subjects like flowers, these beautiful edible models take centre stage. Through dark and moody lighting, I aim to highlight their raw, organic forms, imperfections, and all. The mushrooms placed in a black vase against a dark background, mimics the elegance of floral arrangements, inviting viewers to see them in a new light. The close-up images of the beetroot and cabbage further emphasise the intricate details that make these vegetables just as photogenic as any bloom.
