My statement for the work: The UV rays of the sun are critical to my cyanotype and
solar dye print process. I made these prints in August, when a combination of
relentless sunshine, record temperatures, and high humidity had me checking each
day for the predicted heat index, an indicator of just how unbearable outdoor
activity would be. I used leaves from plants that were flourishing despite the
heat, and the color palette captures the intensity of the heat and light. The prismatic
patchwork reflects the small bits of shadow found among the foliage.
