Ethereal Nature
Ethereal Nature is a collection of 72 botanical lumens, cyano-lumens and phytogram prints. These images are created using an historic cameraless process where the plants, soaked in a special formula, are placed on light sensitive paper and exposed to the sun. Each one is a miracle of nature’s artistry revealing branching veins, varied edges and complex arrangements of stem and leaf.
These one-of-a-kind prints are transient: they are not chemically stabilized to endure. They will deteriorate, darken or fade over time through exposure to light, mimicking the fragile existence of our natural world. The work reveals photography’s ability to frame nature and examines our complex relationship to it.
Ethereal Nature is on view now at CAA @ Canal Art Wall. 650 East Kendall Street, Cambridge, MA. Hours: open 24/7
