This large-scale photographic work is from a series exploring cycles of birth, growth, decay, death and renewal occurring throughout the year in a field near the artist's studio on Dartmoor. Derges aims to capture invisible natural processes, often working at night by the moon's light, and draws inspiration from D’Arcy Thompson’s 'On Growth & Form'. To create the images, patterns created by ink drops in water were scanned directly from a glass tank. These were printed onto large transparencies then placed beneath a glass tank containing water, bracken, grasses, and reeds from the field. Direct prints were made onto Ilfochrome paper placed beneath both the tank and the transparency, which were then photographed to make large scale C-type prints.
