INTRODUCTION
Caroline Jane Harris’ practice is a form and consequence of time and attention. Finding awe in the natural world, she responds to recurring cycles in nature, through a cross-disciplinary exploration of screen-based images and the artist’s hand. Through meditative processes as a response to speed and automation, her work spans photography, printmaking and drawing, redirecting attention from the hypervisual, to complex materiality.
Harris uses personal and found images, manipulating analogue and digital reproductions of the elements. In her work, photographs are made into bitmap templates before being layered and cut by hand, resulting in dimensional yet intangible representations. The legacy of her imperfections captures the grain of touch against a backdrop of the smooth digital domain.

Through traditional and contemporary methods, Harris makes enquiries into materiality, digitality and the artist’s hand, to explore questions around our relationship with nature in the Information Age.
