Artist Statement
The Chemistry of Form is Cyanotype photo series that addresses the possibilities of variation and unpredictability within organic structures. I have created fictitious and ambiguous organic structures that are in various stages of development. These formations are fluctuating between wholeness and separation, and at times alternate between micro and macroscopic visions. The subject of the images is the Cyanotype solution itself, which has been chemically altered on paper before exposure and cut in areas after.
