Sasha Lyth: Blueprints to the Wilderness

An ongoing body of work created in direct collaboration with remote wilderness landscapes. Made primarily on location in the backcountry of California's Eastern Sierras, the work investigates the profound connection between human experience and wild places. Cyanotypes were exposed upon vast expanses of granite using plants carefully foraged, pressed, and dried; silk fibers were dyed in an eco pot utilizing rust water and plants collected on site. Sunlight, weather, terrain, and chance were active participants in its creation. In the Thonson Gallery at Morris Graves Museum of Art.
