Page 1 of Saat Seed, 2017In these photographs on the art of nature, Heidi Specker bypasses the expected, she does not photograph outdoors, but brings bags with the
27 plant cuttings into her studio. She ignores blossoms, lush greenery,
lush freshness to evade beauty. Instead, she develops "SAAT SEED", the title of her series, created from the seed, inspired by a concert by the rock musician Neil Young, who campaigns against genetically manipulated seeds in his The Monsanto Years (https://www.songfacts.com/lyrics/neil-young/monsanto-years). Analogous to botanical plant crossings, Heidi Specker crosses photography.
