Inspired by the regenerative cycles of growth and decomposition, I create abstract works on paper in collaboration with plants and fungi.
MessageCollection: cyanotypes | botanical
A photogram is a camera-less photographic technique: objects are placed on light sensitive paper which is then exposed to ultraviolet light. These photograms are made with paper coated with cyanotype chemicals over which I place pressed botanicals like Poppies, Chickweed, Chervil, Hostas, Dill/Anethum, and various grasses. Each work on paper begins in a plant's history, long before collection and pressing. Location and process inform the final piece; some are made with experimental techniques and multiple exposures.
