CHEMICAL FLIGHT

For the series CHEMICAL FLIGHT, cyanotypes were photographed mid-transformation in their chemical development.

Because of the very nature of the process, a cyanotype cannot be arrested mid-development. For me, watching each print develop is part of cyanotype’s intoxicating beauty. While working on a custom art installation, I chose to photograph that chemical transformation—an attempt to capture and possess an unrepeatable, utterly unique moment in time. This series brings to the forefront something unseen; the midpoint of a process is often just as beautiful as the result.
