Made in his London studio shortly before the COVID-19 closure, Learoyd's 2020 flower series comprises images of withering blooms that become visual meditations on the human condition. Using a custom-built, room-sized camera obscura that exposes photographic paper directly to light, Learoyd photographs the same arrangement of flowers, positioned on a strong, beautiful piece of found wood, over consecutive days. As you move through these daily studies, your eye focuses on different elements of the presentation – the intense detail of a flower bud’s “hairs” or trichomes, for instance, or the deep crimson hue of a wilting blossom’s petal.
