From Micro to Mega, Jon McCormack’s Hanging Pictures Reveal Nature’s Patterns — Colossal

Growing up within the Australian Outback, the place he first picked up a digicam as a youngster to doc his environment within the bush, Jon McCormack developed a eager eye for the sweetness and subtleties of nature. Throughout his profession, he’s stepped foot on all seven continents. Yet the concept for his new e book, Patterns: Art of the Natural World, emerged from a interval of quieter reflection.

Like many people in the course of the pandemic, McCormack’s travels had been restricted to his instant space. He started visiting the identical spots repeatedly and “discovered a new way of seeing, using photography to reveal the hidden harmony and symmetry of the natural world,” says a press release. Patterns, forthcoming from Damiani Books, attracts upon this affected person and attentive strategy to nature’s rhythms, emphasizing its interconnectedness, resilience, and fragility.

The snapshots view slivers of our world from a spread of views, whether or not honing in on the recurring options of crystals or flying over a flamboyance of flamingos in Kenya. Patterns comprises 90 placing photos and textual content contributions from fellow photographers and conservationists.
