Karl Blossfeldt, Urformen der Kunst, 1928⁠

Unlimited inspiration in nature.

I have always been obsessed with seeds and seed pods. I create a ritual for each change of season so I can welcome each season as opposed to lamenting the one past.

I found it easy to welcome spring and the flowers blooming and season shifting or the summer with the heat and the sun and the unlimited time outdoors ~ winter I enjoyed less so, but loved to see my dog smell the air and feel the wind on his face.. but autumn… I just didn’t have the same joy for the season until I moved closer to nature. The seed pods were everywhere ~ the mean seed of the sweet gum tree or the long pods of the koa tree or the spiral spinner from the silver maple. Whenever I have a loss of ideas or impatience with a project, I put on a jacket, grab the pups and walk around to see what nature has to share. Karl Blossfeldt couldn’t agree more.
