Portrait of a Fern i


Sustainable silver gelatin print, produced with fern developer.

Exhibited as one of four sustainable silver gelatin prints depicting ferns as both a being and an environment, imagining them simultaneously as a site of queer history and a queer subject within themselves, alongside the textile installation A Forest, A Stage, An Imprint as part of the interdisciplinary project An Ecosystem is A Permanent Lovemaking.

The photograph was produced natural ingredients in replacement of traditional darkroom chemicals, with ferns being the main component of the photographic developer. As a result, ferns make up both the subject matter and printing mediums of the work.

See the other individual photographs: Rebirth, Decay, and Portrait of a Fern ii.

Exhibited alongside A Forest, A Stage, An Imprint at to tease to hold these stories through and through, Glasgow Project Room, 2023.
