Light Layers brings together works that investigate photosynthesis through photographic and experimental processes. Leaf negative prints, photograms, chlorotypes, and anthotypes use plants both as subjects and as image-producing agents. Through the interaction of light-sensitive materials, plant pigments, and direct contact printing, the works examine the relationships between light, plant matter, and photographic processes.
