The images in Flowers for Bea were made during the spring and summer of 2020. Each day during the lockdowns put in place during the Covid pandemic, Brendan Barry would go for a walk in his neighbourhood, picking wildflowers, bringing them home and arranging them into still lives to be photographed with a camera obscura and darkroom.
He created the images using two analogue processes, one with a paper negative, the other produced using a complex colour-reversal process. ‘These are representations of flowers, of course, but they are also signs of a complex improvisation with chemicals, paper, light, and time. I do not know what the image is going to be like at the start of the process; each one is a small revelation. Sometimes the strangeness of the result positions the everyday motif of the flowers in a new hybrid space between the chemical and natural, a fusion of the tradition of art that celebrates the transience of flowers, and a process that steals them away into an uncanny, chromatic image of an apparently permanent and artificial afterlife.’
