Athyrium filix-femina

Kelly Egan CA, 2016, 5', 35 mm

The second in a series of “quilt films” that pay homage to the work of pioneering female artists. In 1843, Anna Atkins published the first book of photography, Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions, an exploration of regional botany that classified different kinds of algae using direct prints of the plants. Athyrium filix-femina reimagines Anna Atkins' founding work in photography as a moving image.
