Susan Derges-Tadpole Photograms

Derges has created this piece through looking at tadpoles throughout their stages of metamorphus
Susan Derges is a English photographer who specialises in cameraless photographic procedures such as photograms. She takes here pictures at night and uses the moon to her advantage.

Here she has looked at tadpoles though their transformation from tadpole to frog. I find this piece is remarkable because of its contrast between the two photos. There embryo stage of the tadpoles are really organised and looks like an intricate pattern, whereas the tadpoles which have grown legs and developed have created chaos in formation and pattern.
