Winter-Bud Blast is a journey of self-reflection through the act of dissecting 75 aborted rhododendron buds, which were collected from one shrub in the winter of 2020. The process generated 75 photographic prints. Each print documents the dissected parts of one bud, photographed as how they were opened onto the rice paper. All prints are life-size of the buds themselves.

The prints are contained inside a clamshell style box covered in Japanese Mohair book cloth. A rhododendron bud set in clear resin is inset into the front cover allowing the bud to be seen from outside and inside. Additional blue coloured pages are foil blocked in white with additional information about the work. The title is foil blocked using two different foils and combines ground buds within the foil.

The book measures at: 330mm (H)*230mm(W)*65mm(D). Each print is 297mm (H)*210mm. In an exhibition, the work can be shown as a photo-audio installation, as seen above. The video here attempts to present the book as a film piece. With soundscape composed by Monty Adkins.
