Statement

“The Museum of Stones” is an exhibition of camera less photographs, made using experimental, alternative processes that combine cyanotypes, chemigrams and lumen prints. These works are about the small stones we pick up and carry with us as talismans for a specific place and time. Picking up rocks is a way to give ourselves permission to pay attention to the world around. Displayed around our homes, they become containers for memory.

The flow of cyanotype, water and various salts, in this process, mimics the formation of sedimentary rocks. This requires a delicate balance between chaos and control and is a parallel to the control we humans have over our own world.
