Chemical Translations

Cyanotype studies revealing structure through exposure, variation and material change.

This series explores image transfer — moving works between digital, photographic and physical states.

The source material brings together generated compositions, Constructed Light photographic studies and frames derived from the Signal Field moving image series. Each work follows a different route — from computational systems, physical arrangements of light and material, or digital animations transformed through successive stages of display, capture and reproduction.

These images are converted into negatives and reprocessed using cyanotype: an early photographic technique based on ultraviolet exposure and chemical development.

The process introduces a layer of uncertainty. Exposure, surface, chemistry and time affect the final image, creating variations that cannot be precisely predicted or repeated.

Rather than treating these changes as errors, they become part of the work — traces of interaction between different systems.

The final prints exist somewhere between image, object and record: information given physical form through light and chemistry.
