The five prints of Sunward were produced in collaboration with the power of the sun. Graphics were printed on transparencies using power from a solar panel and impressed on the fabric by cyanotype solution reacting to late summer UV rays.

Through a combination of generative code and traditional printing techniques, Sunward points towards a future where humans have learned to utilize their technological knowledge to place themselves back into nature. Harkening back to cyanotype’s first use (botanical recording), Sunward places algorithms mimicking nature as something to be appreciated, for both their beauty and usefulness as we attune ourselves, once again, to the natural world.
