My work is built through experimentation. I create my visual forms from sensory experiences. Because I am very sensitive to materials, I choose them for their ability to physically transform.
This experimental photography project is made using sheep grease (lanolin) and Fuller's earth. The earth is applied through a stencil onto a greased surface. After several days, the earth absorbs the grease in certain areas through capillary action.
The image appears as a negative. Once the earth is removed, the image begins to destroy itself. It becomes increasingly blurred and eventually unreadable.
This work explores memory, materiality, and our relationship with time. It invites viewers to be amazed by a process that we cannot control and have not yet witnessed. These prints are also autonomous; they encourage me to rethink the idea of authorship and to let go of control over my artworks.
