I’m a visual artist working predominantly in experimental photography. I use cameraless and lens based methods, both ancient and modern, such as Cyanotypes, Lumen Prints, Analogue and Digital Photography and work in collaboration with the organisms that are the subject of my study. I juxtapose my work with found or made sculptural objects.
My practice is concerned with the fragility of nature and how we have become so disconnected from it. I’m fascinated by the transformative processes found in nature such as growth and decay, and the ability of organisms such as earthworms, fungi and bacteria to transform the environment.
Previously based in London, since Brexit Myka is working across both UK and Münster, Germany.
