'Action of the Rays'

‘Action of the Rays’ is a large scale (43 x 56") cyanotype on canvas I created for the group exhibition titled, BIG, at Susan Mains Gallery, which opened March 29th at Spiceland Mall, St. George’s, Grenada. My cyanotype prints have been growing with new energy and scale since I began experimenting with the process in 2016.

The ubiquitous and everyday nature of household objects communicate a sense of familiarity to the viewer, and to me they are my brushstrokes, my lines, shapes, texture, value and form. My work is a visual interpretation on what it may be like during the action of a process--electric, full of motion and chaotic. The photograms of the objects, as well as the brushstrokes in which I applied the photosensitive chemicals wander in and out of sharpness and focus.
