Multiverse 2018

Over the past year I have been exploring alternative photographic processes within my domestic  environment. Using the sun, a range of light-sensitive  materials, plants, objects and detritus from around my house, this series of work Multiverse explores the concept of alternate universes existing simultaneously.

The works were created with no fixed orientation. Each work was moved, or reoriented during exposure to capture the fleeting winter sunlight. The series explores the notion that a photograph has agency – not only to depict a scene, or place us in a moment but also to disorientate and transform the viewer’s experience.

A photograph made without a camera removes the need for a static point of view, as if in space, without gravity to provide a sense of up or down, it frees the viewer to rethink the image in front of them. 

This series is a work-in-progress. The first two works have been exhibited as part of
IN ANNA’S GARDEN: Australian practitioners celebrating World Cyanotype Day 2018.
