Artist Statement
My current work explores the connection between artist and nature. The work has a mix of watercolour, photographic processes and nature using the water and sunlight. I utilize these elements by using them within the process of cameraless photography. I predominately use the process of Cyanotype. I use this process as I need sun to activate the paper and water to reveal the final image, and this how I collaboratively work with nature I find the process of image development fascinating. The composition of the processed images takes form of a landscape which evokes memory, through documentation of the surrounding environments.
