Artist Statement:
Cyanotype has been my creative
destination for some time, and
now I have arrived. My latest
work has departed wholly from
the confines of film and
camera, and paints a broader,
luxurious image in cyan blue
and warm hues of archival
white.
I have carefully cultivated a
unique niche in the rarefied
Cyanotype medium, a
mid-19th-century photographic
discipline originally used for
practical purposes such as
proofing and blueprinting, but
revisited periodically by
photographic artists seeking
an alternative to modern
media.
My new approach to the old
process is original and
innovative due to the
unexpected reversed ‘positive’
tonality of the prints and
their virtually limitless
size.
I wanted my cyanotype prints
-detailed, delicate, and
highly individual - to suffuse
a sense of antiquity with a
fresh, contemporary edge that
is powerful and subtle.
My work is decidedly feminine,
yet forceful and unyielding as
I explore the full bloom and
withering of the natural
cycles of life. I mix floral
arrangements with other,
coarser and more provocative
elements such as snakeskin and
fauna to compose symbolic and
engaging oeuvres.
Although the symbolism and
content of my work expands
well beyond localized
representation, the unusual
clarity of each highly
detailed print ...
