About the Item

Marie Craig's "Forest for the Trees 1" is an original dark green photograph of a skyscraper imposed into a silhouette of a leaf. This piece was created using cyanotype, an early photographic process which uses sunlight to expose specially treated paper. The image was then toned with passionflower extract, producing a striking dark green-toned image with high contrast and detail. The 12 x 9 inch photograph is surrounded by a white matte and framed in a white wood frame; framed dimensions are 16 x 13 x 0.75 inches. The photo is signed on the back by the artist. Marie Craig is an award-winning Boston-based contemporary fine art photographer. Her work collectively glorifies objects that were once imbued with life but have since been abandoned. Craig is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.

"Wolemi Pine 2", Contemporary, Yellow, Trees, Forests, Cyanotype, Photograph

By Marie Craig

Located in Franklin, MA

By toning cyanotypes, using chemicals that turn the deep blue images to yellow, Craig's photographs fade and begin to disappear. Craig is curious about what happens when she stops the process at various stages, and when she lets the images ‘evaporate’ completely. Nothing lasts forever. The Wollemi Pine, thought to be extinct, was known only from 200-million-year-old fossils until 1994, when the 100 ft trees were discovered living happily in the impenetrable forests of New South Wales. The personification of longevity and adaptability, this beautiful tree is critically endangered. White mat, framed behind glass in white wood frame, 14 x 17 inches Marie Craig’s photography considers objects that were once imbued with life but have since been abandoned. Juncture, Craig’s latest series, alludes to a turning point, the moment where a choice made profoundly alters the trajectory of what follows, whether evident at the time or not. She uses cyanotype, because in this early photographic process choice and chance factor equally into the outcome of each piece. Craig’s layered photographs...
