Katie Newton

I am a photographer based in the United States. I work in various photographic mediums from traditional black and white film to digital, however much of my recent work involves the use of alternative processes, many of which do not include the use of a camera. The natural world directs much of my photographic explorations and I allow nature to have a strong physical impact on my artwork. At the Saari Residence I will make a series of Anthotypes utilizing the surrounding natural environment. Anthotypes are a photographic process that requires plant material to create emulsions which are then exposed by natural sunlight. The resulting prints are evolved from the natural world and as such, provide insights into the mechanisms of nature. The slow exposure process involved in the making of Anthotypes will also allow for the time to photograph the natural surroundings of the Saari Residence using both digital and film formats.
