Komorebi – Josephine Clouting

Komorebi: The Japanese word to describe sunlight filtering through trees.

The Komorebi series is a project inspired by tropical and temperate plants growing in glasshouses. The large variety of plants on display in the glasshouses make them particularly special places to see Komorebi in effect. The bands of colour at the top and bottom of the paintings reference both the original photographs, and the structure of the glasshouses offering to the viewer a window into another world.
