Farmer’s Tan (2014-17).
Farmer’s Tan is a series of 8 photographic drawings based on field lines, specifically those made by farming machinery navigating around the interiors of fields to harvest crops. This efficient process creates a system determined by the area and shape of the given field, and the width of the harvesting machinery. Farmer’s Tan focuses on the forms created when obstacles within the field stop this efficiency.
Pencil line drawings are turned into one-to-one scale acetate negatives, which impart the delicate field line forms by shielding the photo paper during its exposure to direct sunlight. The photo paper is then fixed to stop further change, leaving a subtle pink/purple hue and a beguiling quality of line.
