Elsiena has recently worked on a new series that investigates the possibilities of the cyanotype process. As the intervention of natural sunlight is central to this almost 200 year old technique, it caters to her reductional approach. Elsiena strives for reduction in order to work with simple principles or structures as a way to search for essence. The intricate reflections of water and bold round shapes, referring to the serene ripples of circles in the water when stones are thrown in it, serve as both subject and metaphor for expansion.
