May Roded 'The Sun Shines The Same (Cyanotype version)'
"The Sun Shines the Same", Cyanotype, 8.75 x 10.5", 6-29-2020
Artist Statement
My work explores these themes of time, memory, and the thoughts that linger in between. Using a balance of positive and negative elements strung together through patterns and space, thoughts are able to flow and convene into one moment. Photographs that come out of my family’s photo albums, memories I record through my personal documentation, and drawings made from observation are all a part of constructing the imagery in my work.
