Bodies Of Water (2023)
Silver prints developed with Arctic seaweed.
3 + 2AP, 40 cm x 50 cm, 2023.
Photographed in the Arctic, these works depict various states and transformations of water. At times evoking a visceral quality, these aqueous forms can mirror textures found in the human body. During a residency in the Arctic, the artist discovered seaweed washed ashore on a beach and chose to use it to create a photographic developer. This led her to process both her photo negatives and prints using this plant-based developer, an alternative to traditional chemicals used in photographic processes.
Produced in collaboration with LMNO Gallery (Brussels).
