Chromatic Foliage – Jordan Mudrack
Chromatic Foliage – Jordan Mudrack
I began this project after spending more time than usual outdoors this summer. I would sit in the shade of a growing, white poplar tree, and as I looked up at the tree, I noticed the sun would course through the veins of the leaves. I immediately knew I had to replicate what I was seeing. With practice, I found a method that worked, using different colors and lights to hold onto the season longer than mother nature usually allows. I started looking at almost every tree everywhere I went, hungry for more leaves. As summer turned to fall, a trip to British Columbia allowed me to see the changing colors of almost every tree along the journey, and it made the trip stand out in my memory so much more. I wanted to attempt to collect a leaf from every tree and capture the timeless essence of Mother Nature.
This body of work will explore the colors and contrast of nature through leaves throughout the seasons: all the way through from spring, to summer, to fall, and eventually even winter. The details within the leaves, the change of color, and the texture all create such beautiful imagery and I hope the beauty I see will translate to viewers of this exhibition.
I have lived in Lethbridge, Alberta for most of my life and have found myself loving the local art community more and more each year. In an attempt to make a name for myself within Lethbridge’s art community, I have been more active within the artist scene during recent years. I have been a photographer for almost two decades and have dabbled in multiple styles. Some of my favorites have been abstract, macro, and landscape photography. Jordan is supported by his amazing partner and wife Samara.
