Charcoal and ash screenprinted onto handmade paper (recycled artworks, turmeric, oceanwater, foraged plant matter from site)

This image was slowly captured along the Cape Hauy Track on the Tasman Peninsula using a pinhole camera. It was a quiet, warm day in the middle of autumn, and I felt the subtle vibrations of the bush around me. Along the walk I gathered leaves, plants, and flowers, later transforming them into the handmade papers that form the surface of each print. I also collected ocean water on site, which became the solvent for the coffee-based developer. In this way, the film interacted directly with the water, the site itself chemically imprinting its presence onto the image. The final work captures not only the magic of the season but also the collaboration between myself and the environment.

Claire Paul is an early career artist whose practice applies long-exposure pinhole photography, foraging practices and screen-printing technologies to embrace a deep observation of ecologies, capturing longer moments of time where contemplation and connection take place. Through the conscious selection of materials and processes, she engages in a collaboration with the environment with less attention paid towards achieving technically rendered results and a fascination lying within the unpredictable outcomes of her practice. Emphasising methodologies which translate a slowness resonating with the natural world, Paul’s practice seeks to promote a more mindful presence where observation and grounding is found and fostered.
