Frozen Flowers

2/4/2021

 
Picture

This project is an exploration in creating a design with frozen items (flowers work particularly well). Think of this like stained glass, don't be afraid to add color to your water, or include non organic items (toys, pieces of sea glass, money, etc.). Most important is making sure you give yourself time to freeze the items, then backlight them in a window or other bright light source. You can crop close to your flowers to make a more interesting layout, we should not see the edges of your ice block. 
Assignment:

Create 3 frozen flower photos using both flowers and other items to create an interesting, and dynamic composition. Negative space is your friend here, you do not need to overload the ice block with items. 

Steps:
  • Start by checking out this article and interview
  • Collect flowers and other items and lay them in a shallow large pan (an 8x8, or 9x13 work well) with only an inch or two of water (the deeper the water the less you'll be able to see through it, consider that when choosing items)
  • You are creating 3 images, you should probably create 3 different frozen designs
  • Freeze your designs overnight. In the daylight, take them out and place them in a window so you get the backlight coming through (might be particularly interesting with sunlight coming directly through but any bright space will work)

Objective: To use design elements to create a dynamic composition using items frozen in water and natural backlighting
