Jenny Tomlin, Rimu solar lumen 2
These photographic exposures are made over hours or weeks. Combining primitive photographic processes - solargraphy and lumen, there is an emphasis on involving the environment. To use plants or the tide as mark makers rather than as the subject. I want to show an accumulation of time - what disappears or remains.
It’s important that the film and paper are well past their use-by-date and have started to chemically break down. Revealing these latent changes and the reactions with the new image extends the time period and enlivens the object.’
