Security Envelope 1 (salt print on handmade linen paper) by Kate Copeland

Aspiring Hot Shot Kate Copeland's practice is an amalgam of artistry, science, metaphysics, and simple curiosity. Recent bodies of work include charting the marks made by insects' footprints and capturing the patterns made by the vapor of breath. For this edition of HHS! she submitted work from a series of salt-prints made of security envelopes. On the project she says:

I investigate the tactile beauty and semiotic frailty of both subject and medium. I am interested in the formal qualities of the envelopes, as well as the many anonymous hands that produced them. By deconstructing these common forms, I aim to draw attention to labor and beauty that is typically unseen and ignored.

Unfortunately, Kate does not have a website, but we will keep our eyes peeled.
