Cyanotype on zerkall paper, wet on dry cyanotype application 

 
Anouska Wallis-Lewis (She/her) is a multi-disciplinary 
artist completing her BFA at Elam School of 
Fine Arts with a focus in printmaking. 
Wallis-Lewis examines the intersection of 
printmaking and photography through her use of 
cyanotype; a light sensitive solution which 
leaves behind a remnant of form when exposed 
to U.V. 
Wallis-Lewis gives autonomy to light to naturally 
expose the work, revealing the minutiae of 
change that occurred during its migration within 
the exposure. Her method of non interference 
considers light’s intractable and intangible 
nature, the final form only evident after the 
chemicals are washed from the paper. You may 
witness the trace of an undulating leaf as the 
sun shifts a degree in its orbit; the varied 
reactions of a chemical solution to a fleeting 
diurnal moment.

Note: Artwork will be shipped after the exhibition concludes
