“We are in this together” 

                            Rosi Baridotti 

My work seeks to expand our understanding of photography by connecting the medium to a

broader network of ideas including craft, ecofeminism, and embodied making. I approach

photography from a craft perspective, grounded in a deep engagement with the materiality

and tactility of the medium. Through this approach I draw attention to the photograph not

simply as an image, but as an embodied presence shaped by process, labor, and touch.

Photography has historically been framed as an objective window onto the world. My

practice questions this tradition. I believe photographers do not take pictures, they make

them. As an artist I consciously move away from the notion of photography as pure

observation of reality and instead understand every photograph as something constructed

through decisions, gestures, and material processes.

By employing a hand-made approach to image making, I challenge the historically dominant

paradigm of sharp-focused, linear photography that has often been associated with

masculine ideas of technological mastery and visual control. Instead I situate my work within

a lineage of women artists who have expanded photographic practice through

experimentation, craft traditions, and embodied processes.

My practice combines photography, film, and textile to explore ways of restoring and healing

relationships between people, the natural world, and the self. It is rooted in the history of

photography, yet over time I felt the need to expand the medium’s possibilities through tactile

weaving and a focus on materiality. Guided by science, the earth, and spirituality, my work

draws on ecofeminist ideas that consider the role of the artist as both caregiver and steward

of the natural world.

Ultimately, my work proposes photography as a space of care, tactility, and relational

thinking. Through slow processes and embodied making, it seeks to create images that

resist the speed and abstraction of contemporary technological vision while offering a more

attentive and humanistic way of seeing.
