For the project, "By Her Side", I am visiting the homes/studios of influential historical female artists and thinkers. I create a photographic blueprint, a contact print cyanotype of a tree that was witness—through its proximity—to the chosen women’s legacy. The selected women all have deep relationships to nature and the landscape. They use their expertise or pioneering spirit for education and/or environmental appreciation. It is a performative act that calls upon instinctive photographing to both connect and memorialize.
