video description
Jan Dunning uses pinhole photography to create eerie, seductive color images of natural phenomena growing strangely in unnatural settings. In her work, the pinhole camera’s infinite depth of field produces a dreamy quality and plant forms seem to gather strength from radiant beams of light.
