Untitled (Tay in Five Parts), 2024
Cyanotype on cotton rag, framed in wood and non reflective UV glassNotes
This work comprises five photograms, made using the cyanotype process, one of the earliest processes of photography created in 19th century. In this work, the artist presses her body against paper coated with light-sensitive chemical mixture, Imprinting her fragmented self into the work. In the process of printing and in the creation of the image, the body and image become vessel, memory, projection and trace. Here, as the artist continues her inquiry into the relationship between the photographic document, memory and materiality, she further questions the reflexivity embedded in the photograph and image-making.
