Exploring Chlorophyll Printing - The Art of Creating Images with Plant Chemistry

Join internationally-exhibiting artist Dianne Bos for a lecture exploring the innovative process of chlorophyll printing, where sunlight creates images directly on plant leaves. Learn how Bos transforms her herbarium into a unique photo album using this sustainable photographic technique that harnesses plants' natural chemistry. Discover how these delicate chlorophyll prints reflect the interconnected worlds that plants support while incorporating subtle sci-fi elements. Examine the ephemeral nature of these botanical artworks and their parallel to ecosystem fragility. Gain insights into Bos's artistic journey spanning Canada and France, including her experimental work with pinhole photography, camera obscura, installations, and alternative photographic methods that reveal imperceptible aspects of our world through the physics of light and time.
