My work for the show will be a series of sun prints. Images painted by the sun. Or burnt remnants of shadows. Using a paper that is laced with a chemical that reacts to the sun I can create my own cutouts, drawings and even pieces of the earth and have the sun burn the image right into the paper. No computers, no machines, just the raw power of the sun. Each piece represents a sunny day. My goal was to come up with images that looked as if they had been through a photoshop filter, or rendered in illustrator without actually using a computer at all. In other words my images are solar powered art works. And I also get to work on my tan in the process :)
