Senescence (Series)
"This project is a reflection of age, deterioration & death in nature & in us all."
- Bruce Davis, Photographer
- 'Senescence' explores the transformative life cycle of an Amaryllis (Hippeastrum), from bloom, to reproduction, wilting & finally death.
Applications: Commercial, Fine Art Prints, Exhibitions & Series, Corporate Art, Social Media Content & Branding.
'Senescence' captures in 25 photographs, the process of life, reproduction, death & decay before new growth & is told through expressive, abstract photography that chronicles the life & death of an Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) in an intimate & poetic study.
These descriptions are based on my own observations & mixed with personal, armchair research I have done on the Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) & senescence. I accept that my information may be off or misguided. Please feel free to add to or correct any of this information.
Senescence as a scientific term describes biological aging, the deterioration of functional characteristics & the cessation of cellular division & growth. In short, senescence is the process of functional deterioration with age & dying.
The Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) in this series has been photographed at various stages of plant or flower senescence as it blooms, reproduces, readies to die & go dormant until its next growth cycle.
Notable characteristics of plant or flower senescence are chlorophyll degradation & wilting. Chlorophyll degradation causes the flower's petals & stem to change colour & wilting is caused by diminished water cells that help reduce water loss in the flower.
The Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) petals first begin to show slight discoloration after its vibrant bloom, then wrinkling & pocking as the petals curl along the edges & tips. The heads of the Amaryllis (Hippeastrum), then begin to grow heavy, droop & become slightly sticky & wet to the touch, before contracting & then becoming dry & brittle to the touch, then finally breaking off, carrying with them the seed pod or ovule. The anther & filament or 'stamen' begins to decay, curl & the pollen turns to a fine powder & flakes off. The stigma & style which is used for pollination & propagation, is located just below the stamen, wrinkles & contracts to a very small size & often falls off.
Notable characteristics of the Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) reproductive cycle are the fully extended & open stigma & style & pollen sprinkles across the petals & filament.
The Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) is a genus in the family Amaryllidaceae (subfamily Amaryllidoideae, tribe Hippeastreae, and subtribe Hippeastrineae) & are from Central & South America with 90 species & over 600 hybrids & cultivars in the genius. These flowers are known for their ability to flower indoors, re-flower & are often given as gifts in the winter around holidays.

Trees (Series)
A moment to reflect on such beauty that we often take for granted. Trees are ancient, grand & have remarkable personalities worth studying & photographing.
Sun & Ice (Series)
The sun illuminates frozen patterns on glass. Each morning, deep in the winter months, ice forms on a glass door. Each patter is different, changing morning after morning, communicating a type of music or maybe a dance. This photographs were taken in 2012 & developed & edited in late 2020 as part of my creative process of letting photographs sit for sometime before developing them.
