The Three Disciplines

Elizabeth Eiten

"After conducting various experiments, I found myself collecting traditional botanical objects for sun prints. I began taking cell phone pictures of these specimens and turning them into negatives for sun prints. The sun prints became the backdrops of my photographs.

The backdrops of the images are sun prints of cell phone pictures. First, I would collect botanical objects, such as flowers or leaves, and take cell phone pictures. Negatives would be created from the cell phone pictures. I would then use these negatives to make sun prints."
