Decode Series – II

£600.00

‘Decode’ series is inspired by research into the earliest form of text, such as hieroglyphs and cuneiform script. Fragmented cast cubes are placed in a grid. These are then coated with a mixture of two chemicals that create the earliest form photographic print: cyanotype. The work is then exposed the to the sun, the trajectory of the sun and shadows cast create varying tones of indigo evidencing the differing exposure to UV light and references the ongoing concerns in Anne’s work of relationships between material, process and time.
