When It Rains

 

2020 - In progress

 

When It Rains is a series of cyanotypes on fabric combining photographs and photograms into single surreal images. These artworks reflect on loss, anxiety, and the materials we collect. 

​

After the recent deaths of people close to me, I found myself sorting through an excess of household materials. Each object suddenly had a new nostalgic significance heightened by loss. I began incorporating these materials into my artwork, and each image developed a new narrative. This process also gave the objects a newfound purpose while creating a record of them.

​

I place these pieces directly onto the photographic digital negatives while exposing cyanotype-coated cloth. Throughout this ongoing series, I playfully experiment with the scale and quantity of familiar objects to create visual connections and metaphors.
