These are from the series "Native" 2009.
I really like the focus she uses in som of her photos - only having small parts in focus. it creates a delicate, beautiful looking photo. Maybe making a comment on the fragility of nature?

Photographer Jennifer Linnea Daly is an artist who has used the anthotype method. In her exhibition, ‘The Temporal Nature of Things’, her Masters exhibition in 2009, she explores sustainable art making by using recycled and renewable materials to create anthotype prints. Anthotype’s allow her for an exploration of the temporal nature of the landscape and the effects of time and light on the natural world
Here she has used an emulsion of Spinach juice, on paper that is produced with 100% post consumer recycled pulp and with OHP Transparency Film negative. She made her images in Northern California and exposed her images on a clear, sunny summer day for 3-4 hours.
As anthotype’s, the images have a finite lifetime and like the actual plants themselves, continue to change during their existence eventually fading into oblivion. Daly was interested in artists who have chosen to use certain historical processes to enhance their conceptual idea. She realized that she could make images about an idea that incorporates both the image and the process.
