Millbrook, NY — The vibrant colors and delicate forms of spring come alive in “In Bloom:
Flowers and Still Lifes,” an exhibit of the works of photographer Lori Adams. Opening in June in
the heart of the Hudson Valley, this curated show invites art enthusiasts and nature lovers alike
to celebrate the season’s renewal and experience the timeless allure of floral and still life
compositions.
Adams has been making photographs for close to 50 years. “In Bloom” represents the
photographer’s admiration and awe of the structure, form and color of many of the
flowering plants in Dutchess County and beyond. As a gardener, citizen scientist and
artist, Adams brings specimens into her studio to study and make portraits of them. “With
my lights and lenses I can bring out details that I cannot see otherwise,” she says. “The
flowers die but the photographs live on.”
The flower portraits are complemented by still lifes in the style of Netherlandish painting.
Adams styles, arranges and lights the set-ups to create relationships between objects of
her desire.
“In Bloom” explores the intricate relationship between art and nature. Each piece captures the
ephemeral beauty of blossoms or the quiet elegance of still life arrangements, offering viewers a
moment of reflection and appreciation of the natural world.
