Leaving Reality is an Abstract visual poetic novella inspired by the graphic novel form. the images are experimental cyanotypes, lumen prints, and chemigrams as well as hybrid forms created using both analogue and digital collage techniques. These images are explorations begun during an artist residency at the Wallace Stegner home in Eastend, Saskatchewan in April/2022 and further developed during an experimental photography mentorship offered by the Agora/Experimental Photography Festival in Barcelona during 2022 and 2023.
