Annaghmakerrig studies
While on residency at Annaghmakerrig (Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Ireland), I spent a lot of time walking and observing things in nature. I carefully collected little things and studied the color, made field notes and cyanotypes, all of the same plant. Some of these, like the cyantypes will be further developed into artwork. The color studies are finished works.
