Featured artist

Anita Pitu

Anita Pitu is a local photographer and a recent graduate of Massey University.  Her personal work focuses on exploring photography’s delicate and tactile nature. 

 Anita’s most recent project, Tender Chaos, takes the photographic medium on a journey that explores both contemporary photographic digital design and the pioneering process of cyanotype hand printing.  It then runs alongside handmade craft by printing the images onto fabric, until it is finally sewn into a unique piece of photographic art that balances effortlessly between the worlds of photography and printed textile. 

 

The cyanotype process begins by coating the natural fibred fabric in the UV light sensitive cyanotype chemical.  The fabric is then contact printed with an acetate negative in direct sunlight.  The UV light reacts with the chemical in the fabric and creates the deep blue indigo tones which give the process its name.
