crysalis is a series of photographic images that are direct outcomes of the processes that generated develop. They are the emergent crystalline structures that result from the unconventional treatment of cyanotype solution. Despite the fact that the same procedure/conditions are implemented each time, the resulting images are diverse and unpredictable – small differences can generate extraordinary changes in outcomes. Crysalis embodies the process; it is evidence of the process having taken place; articulates concepts of complexity; and challenges the conventions of how photographs can be made. Crysalis was also used as source material to produce photographic terrains 2 and resliced.
