Lucida
A tactile exploration of light through the creation of cyanotypes, or “sun prints”.
Inspired by the sense of wonder one can experience when watching an image reveal itself, little by little, in the traditional darkroom environment.
The cyanotype is among the oldest of photographic processes. The image created in the workshop is a photogram, meaning the photograph is obtained without the use of a camera. Rather, objects or stencils are placed on a photosensitive surface, which is then exposed to a light source. The cyanotype is thus an exploration in invisibility and the transformation of the photographed object, given that it is a shadow of the object on the paper – its “light shadow”.
