nif responds to materials, research and the senses, to develop shifting scenes that explore where place and perception meet, and the complexities in the simple act of looking. On a recent trip to Iceland, the landscape was so unfamiliar, surprising, and immense that it was difficult to focus on form and detail. The experience highlighted anthropologist Christopher Tilley's idea that "It is only in a new landscape, or an unfamiliar place, that one has to consciously think about relationships and learn where things are." The mutable nature of cyanotype on layers of translucent gampi provided a new way to explore the fluid and fleeting experience of memory and observation.
