Femme : New Cyanotype Print Collection .

Rule of Thumb (2023) Sarra Shepherd All Rights Reserved. 

This new collection of work engages with the theme of female, and the power of nature. 

Research for this work has roots in work from 2007 and has been growing in importance since 2021. Points of tension have been tracked back to examine the notion of female, woman, femininity, and the relationship between the anthropological notion of ‘mother nature’, woman as main, mother and crone, and personal empowerment,  set against nature as an interconnected, complex, cybernetic, homeostatic feedback system. 

This exploration is evident in early works such as ‘one’, ‘interconnection’, and ‘time’.
