Apparition 1
Signed and numbered paper print designed to hang framed. Every print comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Cyanotypes are made using one of the oldest photographic printing processes and involves coating paper or fabric with light sensitive iron salts and exposing it to UV light. Cyanotypes can be made with or without a camera and my cyanotypes are often made using both photographic negatives and found objects placed directly on the coated paper.
Within the Evangelical Christian environment in which I spent the first half of my life women are ghosts. They exist in the background, moving around, doing all the essential work to keep the whole apparatus going but they aren’t acknowledged. Women are spoken about in Mother’s Day sermons, but never spoken to and certainly never listened to or allowed to speak publicly themselves. Everything female in Evangelical Christian republican circles is coated in a thick layer of shame, looked on with derision and disgust. The experiences, concerns, bodies, and especially the sexuality of women are to be hidden and never spoken of. With this in mind I started a series of cyanotypes I call" “Apparitions” using the wispy nature of women’s intimate attire to depict the hidden nature of female desire and agency that haunts the edges of American Christianity.
