Annemarie Hope-Cross ‘Arboretum, a Portrait of Trees’

Inspired by bare winter trees, Annemarie has created a series of camera-less photographic images.  During a recent trip to Christchurch, sitting by the Avon River with a friend, Annemarie was inspired by the shapes and shadows of bare boughs, and the imperfections of skeleton leaves.

Annemarie uses photographic processes from the 1830’s and 1840’s.  She coats paper with chemicals, and places botanical specimens onto the paper.  After time out in the sun, an image is created.  Once back in the darkroom, Annemarie fixes the image to make it permanent.  As trees need sunlight to develop, so do Annemarie’s images.
