SCRUB – cyanotype language & portrait art prints (process photos)

SCRUB investigates, through poetic practice, the relationship between humans, language and ‘scrub’ plants and ecologies. This item contains photographs showing steps in creating the ‘SCRUB’ series of cyanotype language art prints produced during the August 2018 residency at Singing Apple Press. The ‘SCRUB’ series uses a digital negative created from scanned letterpressed text, with plant material from different sites in the Singing Apple Press garden. ‘Cherry’ is toned with the tannins from cherry cuttings, while ‘Bramble2’ is toned with blackberries and bramble cuttings.This item also contains photography showing the creation of the ‘Portraits of Severed Plants’ series of cyanotype language art prints produced during the August 2018 residency at Singing Apple Press. Other images of the series are in the item for the Apples and Other Languages exhibition.The ‘Portraits’ (final image) combine single-species leaves or stems with text from conservation guide The Scrub Management Handbook (English Nature, 2001).

SCRUB项目以诗性实践为研究路径，探讨人类、语言与“灌丛（scrub）”植物及生态系统之间的内在关联。本数据集包含2018年8月于“歌唱苹果出版社（Singing Apple Press）”艺术家驻留项目期间，创作“灌丛（SCRUB）”系列蓝晒（cyanotype）语言艺术版画的全过程摄影作品。“灌丛”系列以扫描所得的凸版印刷文本生成数字负片，并采用取自歌唱苹果出版社花园不同区域的植物材料制作。其中作品《Cherry》以樱桃插条提取的单宁进行调色，作品《Bramble2》则以黑莓与悬钩子插条完成调色。本数据集还收录了同期于歌唱苹果出版社驻留期间，创作“断植肖像（Portraits of Severed Plants）”系列蓝晒语言艺术版画的制作过程摄影作品。该系列的其余作品影像收录于“苹果与其他语言（Apples and Other Languages）”展览相关数据集中。“断植肖像”系列的最终作品将单物种的叶片或茎秆，与《灌丛管理手册（The Scrub Management Handbook，English Nature, 2001）》中的保育指南文本相结合。所有照片均由艺术家与创作者本人拍摄，使用已获得正式授权。本数据集内的所有素材受版权保护，未经作者、艺术家及出版社许可，不得擅自使用或传播。使用本资料库即代表同意并遵守其相关使用政策。
