Brooke Sauer

Through my art I strive to connect more deeply with the natural world by exploring and learning about it first-hand, and reflecting on our symbiotic connection to it. The intimate and sometimes whimsical moments portrayed in my work suggest that just as nature surrounds us, it is also within us. My unique cyanotypes are created by combining a very old photographic printing process with my background in painting and my love of botany. My prints are made from pressed plants that I collect while hiking and observing the coexistence between native and non-native species in both urban and wild landscapes.
