Cyanotype and Prisms (Series)
DESCRIPTION
The selected images are part of an ongoing series using cyanotype processes and glass objects. The images were created in various lockdowns in London in low winter sunlight. The prisms are placed on the cyanotype prints to create new palimpsest images, which create a connection to early analogue and current digital processes. Goethe stated that colour was not simply a scientific measurement, but a subjective experience perceived differently by the viewer. I am trying to create new complex abstracted images that question image making and the ethereal qualities of sunlight.
