John Blakemore writes that “To construct a still life is to play, both to create and to solve a jigsaw puzzle with no guiding picture. Even apparently simple and un-regarded material can stimulate exploration.
The pampas grass series combined a fascination with the intricate shapes and structures of the grasses with decisions about picture making. The frame within a frame, the use of tape, the movement from simplicity to complexity.” (John Blakemore, Photographs 1955-2010, Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2011 (p102))
