Dead Girl (My Sister) Concept- Tin can at top Leaking Chemicals

“Waking up” after Leaking Chemicals

Step 1: Sun 30min

Concept: “explore the water” As I made these Cyanotypes, I imagined being a fish swimming around the pages. The mixed use of materials like wire and plastic pool objects allowed for organic lines like seaweed in the ocean or waves in a pool.

Step 2: Cold water rinse until runs clear

Objects on paper- During the first phases of making these Cyanotypes I scattered miscellaneous objects on 6 pages. I kept these objects consistent throughout them to insinuate a consistent concept. “explore the water”

Final Cyanotypes

In the “The Allegory of the Cave, Plato illustrates the reader to imagine a story he is telling”. This book is an analogy between sight and mind. The story starts off imagining a cave with a few prisoners tied-up inside, they are tied where they cannot see on either side of them or behind them. There is a partial Wall behind the captives and a fire that casts shadows from the Partial wall that has statues positioned on top.

Plato uses the prisoners to represent people who believe that wisdom comes from what you see and listen to in the world. The Cave represents a boundary of one’s ability to understand the world. The story continues to say the prisoners would play games at guessing which statues would appear next, how they would move, etc. Guessing right they would be praised by each other, Eventually a prisoner gets out of cave only to have his entire perception of life changed. Plato used this analogy between a man thinking there is no world beyond the cave and shadows but suddenly seeing the sun, trees, flowers, etc. for the first-time appreciating life in a whole new way. Compared to how people of today’s world focus on using their senses rather then “going out of the cave”. 00000
