In 2021, I searched for the representation of the sea. Because memories of and experiences with this place vary widely, I chose to create images from different approaches and experimented with techniques. The result is a collection of works about calm, beauty and simplicity, but also mystery and fear.
I developed these cyanotypes in the North Sea, on the beach I grew up near. The cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces blue prints using coated paper and light. Sunlight, sand, shells, wind and the waves created seascapes and prints of the place.
