Issue 3:2 – October 2021

'Seed Pod' is a photograph of a Jack-in-the-Pulpit seed cluster. Typically the pods are bright red when ripe and before they drop to the ground. Creating this colour tone within the image was to highlight the subtle plumpness of the pods. Nature provides patterns worth exploring.
