Shirine Gill Aquatico Series 2009, Pigment Ink Print 44"x36".

“Shirine Gill practices a dark art that takes us back to photography's birth and looks forward to its future. Inspired by pioneers Anna Atkins and William Henry Fox Talbot, she records light's passage around and through botanical specimens, directly on photo paper, without a camera. Capturing nature's fragile beauty in a negative image, her work reminds us of art's responsibility to help preserve a world we all share”. Lyle Rexer-2009
