Joe Orsillo - Tulip (2010) "Exquisitely delicate monochromatic photos that reveal the beauties of texture and form found in both the living and the dying. What draws me to this subject is not the death of the flower but its seeming transformation. All of the qualities that flowers are valued for; color, aroma, symmetry, are stripped away. What remains is purity of form, revealing shape and texture that can otherwise be missed."
