During my study abroad in Florence last summer, I took a darkroom photography course that opened up a new avenue for my art practice. Through my conversations and critiques with my photography professor it became apparent that I was drawn to alternative processes in the world of photography. …I am taking my interest in environmental studies and my recently discovered love for alternative photographic processes and making a body of work using photography and printmaking alternatives that are more sustainable and less damaging to human health than their commonly-used counterparts.
