In the series Theia, Adam Fuss expands his exploration of botanical themes. Named for the hypothetical planet that may have crashed into the Earth and formed our moon, Theia invokes a calamitous occurrence that ushers in renewal and new beginnings. To create the images, Fuss positions fresh spring flowers onto a sheet of thick paper, flattens the arrangement with a metal plate, and presses it through a table-top etching press. The resulting hyper-realistic artworks appear deceptively as three-dimensional compositions, floating against a white space.
