These natural objects represent narratives and archives that also serve as storyboards of time and place. Translated with the Photogravure process, these unique forms of precious beauty have a connecting thread related to materiality, to object, and to preciousness.
As we collect, archive and record the evidence of the beauty that surrounds us, these handmade prints aim to waken our senses of sight and touch.
The Photogravure process brings with it elements that are unique. With texture, raised ink lines, embossed plate gutter and paper qualities such as weight, stipple, colour, deckled edging. All these elements contribute to creating the impact or the feeling of the final image and can take the photograph into the realm of a beautiful object itself, which mirrors the content of the natural forms.
