‘Printed Matter’. 2018
Artists’ Book
20 x 13 cms
Paper, map and 'lumen' prints
As part of a one year residency with the National Trust at Mottisfont, Eileen has made the River Test, a famous chalk stream, the focus of her work. Her objective is less about portraying a literal representation, but rather an attempt to convey feelings surrounding ephemerality and time evoked by the landscape. The book form is used as a repository/container.
‘Printed Matter’ is a collection of lumen prints (camera less photography), made using plants that grow next to the river. The process involves using sunlight to burn an image onto light sensitive paper. The book is an ephemeral piece as the images have remained ‘un-fixed’. Consequently they will fade and disappear over course of the exhibition.
