Linnéa Gad’s work speaks to the engulfing sublimnity and emotional ambivalence of landscapes that are in a state of both physical or perceptual erosion. Gad begins these works as ink paintings which are then transformed into the final artwork via cyanotype transfer. The reference ink painting of Yellie I is based on an image from the film "Lobsters" made by Bauhaus artist László Moholy-Nagy in 1936 and follows the life cycle of the crustacean. Gad's resulting artwork suggests sea glitter forming a mantel-like shadow shape of the image.
