Acknowledging vulnerability as intrinsic to the healing process, I make and stack vessels coated with unfixed cyanotype, a light-sensitive photographic emulsion. The resulting cairns are contemplations on the relationships between failure, healing and vulnerability within the body. The cairns function as counterpoints to photographic prints of fixed cyanotype paper. In concert, the cairns and photographic fields of blue are portals into a dialogue between the sacred place and the problematic body.
