A Composition
2025
Inkjet (Scanned Anthotype)
12.7 x 17.8 cm Mounted
Edition of 10
€18 Mounted (includes 13.5% VAT)
Arrangement of dried plants using the experimental printmaking process of Anthotyping. Anthotypes are completely non-toxic and 100% biodegradable, making them one of the most sustainable ways to create photographic images. This anthotype was made using foraged blackberries to make the purple pigment.
Vicky is a Dublin 8-based visual artist working primarily with analogue photography. Mentored by Sorcha Frances Ryder, she is developing a body of work that combines traditional darkroom printing with experimental anthotype processes using natural dyes derived from foraged Irish plants. Her self-portraits aim to blur the line between subject and environment, exploring themes of identity, memory, and vulnerability in womanhood.
By employing experimental analogue techniques - such as low shutter speeds and high ISO- her images embrace motion blur and pronounced grain, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that softens the body's edges and leaves brush-like traces.
Through both in-camera experimentation and darkroom manipulation, Vicky seeks to deepen the emotional resonance of her work and investigate the roles of texture, light, and motion in visual storytelling.
