Solar printing is a seasonal exercise during those months when direct sunlight pours into the skylight in my attic studio. My practice is to print various images on heritage linens, embroidered with phenomenal skill predominantly by women. One can imagine the hours of quiet solitude with needlework a respite from housework, or a defence against boredom. A ladylike pastime. Thinking about this delicate work and reviewing my bank of 2023 solar prints, I decided to make the show an entirely gendered affair. From my recent cache, I have pulled out a decidedly girlish collection. Source images for manipulated negatives include family pictures and my drawings and photographs.
