Neeta Madahar is a visual artist working with photography and video. This exhibition is the culmination of her two years as the 14th Bradford Fellow.
The Fellowship allowed Madahar to begin making Flora, a project that has been in development since 2004. Flora evokes the style of Hollywood studio portraiture from the 19...30s - 50s, drawing inspiration from the society photographs of Cecil Beaton and Madame Yevonde.
Flora extends Madahar's interest in combining natural and artificial worlds in her photography and is shown alongside Madahar's other photography and video works.
Also included is a selection of photographs from the Museum's Collection that Madahar has drawn upon for inspiration.
