externalities
This 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 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.
The works were awarded the SSA - Engramme award and consequent solo show at Engramme Gallery, Quebec in 2022.
