Externalities

This ongoing series of cyanotypes sprung out of an interest in the everyday, the overlooked and the unseen. The underlying theme of the works is an inquiry into time and the dichotomy between the fleeting and the permanent. The works explore visual associations and the relationship between sunlight, hydrocarbons, plastics, time and bodies of water. The prints are all based on single-use plastics, exposed by the sun to leave behind a lasting imprint in shades of blue. Every print is unique and the result of a particular moment in time: weather conditions, shadows, the time of day and the time of year it was made.
