Rosemary Horn
Rosemary Horn is from New Zealand. She has become quite an expert in the environmentally friendly processes such as anthotypes and photosynthesis.
During her final year at university Rosemary completed a research project, she wanted to address her concerns for the environment through the photographic medium. Rosemary felt a change was needed towards using less processed materials and a simplified printing process. Rosemary's concern for the environment lead her to reconsider the materials used in photography. She felt the need to use less processed materials and a simplified printing process. Each leaf has its own peculiarities responding to the process differently.
By using the anthotype method the prints are automatically seen as being very organic, this is also shown by the faint pastel colours which translates to fruits and nature. The one toned gives a soft aged look to the picture almost as though the image has a coloured sepia filter. In my opinion Horn's anthotypes are very elegant and classic and the fact that they use solar energy really inspires me to research more printing methods that are renewable.
