About the Artist
Erin Patton-McFarren
Erin Patton-McFarren creates experimental cyanotypes from her studio in Fort Wayne, Indiana and along waterways wherever her adventures take her. Her creative practice involves constant exploration, process and experimentation. The cyanotype process begins with the preparation of materials in the dark, mixing chemistry and painting it on papers. In contrast, her work is completed by working outdoors with natural elements as her tools: wind, water and most importantly, light.“The flowing, changing current of the water source is a reminder to live fully and to keep moving. These works illustrates our natural conflicts, the impermanence of existence and the need to record and mark our place.”
