With My Whole Body explores the power dynamics of traditional portrait photography, where the operator often controls the image while the sitter has little agency. Responding to this, the artist merges photographer and subject using the cyanotype printmaking process. Rather than posing for a camera, the body physically touches a sensitized surface, creating images over extended exposures that capture presence and movement. Fabric cyanotypes are then sculpted into three-dimensional forms, combining fragments of the body to produce a tactile, collaborative image. The work challenges conventional photographic representation and invites viewers to reconsider authorship, presence, and recognition in portraiture
Admission is always free.
