Imagine a piece of tissue paper.

Coat it with cyanotype chemicals.

Fold it into an origami crane.

Let it be a crane for a while, in any place with a bit of light. Ignore it, play with it, whatever.

After a while, unfold it. Develop.

You'll get an image.

The image is the memory of it's experience as an origami crane.

Repeat. Every crane's experience - and hence every image - will be unique.

Here's 4 out of the >750 I've made so far.

@cyanotype this is amazing. I have been a photographer and filmmaker since childhood and am dealing with the fallible memories of again parents. Your art strikes a very familiar and personal chord with me.
@andy Thank you Andy. It has been an utter privilege to work with and learn from people living with dementia. They continue to inspire me in so many ways. I just hope to build empathy and understanding of their lived experience in any way I can.
Best wishes to you and your parents.
