Day Lily / Perineal Hemerocallis WIP

I noticed today that the first shoots of day lilies were coming up through the leaves!
Each year in July I can continue working on my Perineal Hemerocallis project and 2020 will be the 4th year.

Images from series entitled 'Perineal Hemerocallis' created during the Southend Festival Art Residency in 2018. Exploring the time just after giving birth, that often goes unmentioned.
