Miami Bachata No. 1
Original cyanotype on watercolor paper, created in the sunlight and ocean
By Erin Patton McFarren
Artist Statement:
Erin Patton-McFarren creates experimental cyanotypes, working with simple non-toxic elements
in nature from her studio in Fort Wayne, Indiana and travels near water. The work created is immediate, capturing the ever changing sunlight as it interacts with water and wind. Currents in the river, lakes and water create their own expression of shape in the natural light. The immediacy of printing in the sun and changing light contrasts the calm of sitting along the river. The interplay of elements in nature create a spontaneous moment on paper, gently marking time and place. What begins as simple form of photography becomes the ephemeral in print.
