What you'll do
In 1843, British botanist Anna Atkins began documenting specimens of algae using the newly discovered medium of cyanotype printing. Through contact solar printing, Atkins was able to capture incredible, accurate detail that was previously only possible through scientific illustration. In her endeavor to capture, record, and share her algae collection using cyanotype, Atkins became the first to publish a photo book (Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions) and is often cited as the first female photographer.The work of Anna Atkins informs and inspires Veronica Siehl’s art practice. Using cyanotype, Veronica investigates shadow as subject, medium, and metaphor. Botanicals, textiles, and hand-painted films—at times in combination with poetry and monoprinting—are used to generate prints that explore the shadow’s ability to defy time by being simultaneously present and absent.Atkins’s botanical prints will be used as a historical lens to examine and inspire in this hands-on workshop. Students will learn and explore the cyanotype process by engaging with Midwestern flora in our urban landscape, creating several unique photograms throughout the day. This workshop will span settings—we’ll make work inside using Campfire’s darkroom as well as outdoors using the sun.
