Lumen Printing
It was very special to have a period of “uninterrupted” time
to work on my artistic projects while at Artless. I’ve managed
to take it slow at the beginning arriving and allowing myself
to become hypnotised by the landscape. Then I found
myself diving into experimentation with various materials
and techniques, some of which I was fascinated for a period
of time, old (and forgotten) and new. My intention for the
residency was to stay connected to the seance of wonder
and appreciation of the nature around me. Most of the work
is about space and time, the human mind and interaction
between.
Below are some projects I worked on with no particular
order (which is rather emblematic of the way my work
was evolving): Lumen printing with the use of cyanotype
developer, collaging with electrical and masking tape, video
installation, painting, working with cymatics. And of
course, I’ve I photographed surrounding of the residency
extensively. I’m including a few Lumen prints I’ve made
at Arteles. There are also an image form a new series of
Cymatics that is a continuation of the project I am working
on in various lands surrounding the Baltic Sea.
