In 2021 I began adopting alternative photographic processes that use natural materials and slower, hands-on, printing methods that align with the messages of my work. These anthotypes use the chlorophyll pigment of plants grown in the same environment I have photographed. The prints are unfixed, quietly disappearing as they gather more light. Their impermanence speaks to the fragility of the natural world, and an appreciation for the ephemeral. Our obsession with photography’s permanence has formed a reliance on toxic materials. Rather than forcing permanence upon photography, we can instead learn to treasure fleeting imagery and bring this artistic medium into a harmonious co-existence with the environment and non-human entities. Perhaps photography need not last for hundreds of years, and we can instead enjoy it for its true essence: the documentation of light.
