Cyanotype prints on kozo paper
My body of work represents the delicate, ephemeral beauty of the mountainous and icy landscapes of Iceland, Japan and Finland. While climate change hums quietly in the background, I focused on my sensory and emotional memory of these landscapes, remembering their textures, contours and elusive light. I experimented with techniques, printing my cyanotypes in rich Prussian blues and using the medium's inherent unpredictability to convey the transient, melting nature of these places. My intention was for each work to be an act of reverence, an elegy, communicating what is slipping away through a process as fragile as the scenes themselves.
My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Anna Atkins, Sir John Herschel.
