Petra Cortright

Botanical Study #1

Influenced by her passion for plants and gardens, Cortright's work captures the essence of solitary flora with custom digital brushes, reminiscent of botanical drawings. Her compositions, set against hazy gradients, prompt contemplation on the significance of plants in human narratives and the overlooked dynamism of the vegetal realm. By merging the speed of the digital with the temporal slowness of plants, Cortright's art invites viewers to reconsider their cognitive rhythms and connections to biological systems, offering a unique perspective on the relationship between technology, nature, and human perception.
