Ralph Schexnaydre Jr.: Translating the Sun

Arnaudville artist Ralph Schexnaydre Jr. has spent the past few years working with non-camera generated imagery, using alternative and antiquated photographic processes. Translating the Sun represents the work he's focused on over the past year, of lumen and cyanotype prints created using plant materials collected along the Bayou Teche, local roadsides, and his private property—transformed through the process into something he describes as "celestial, magical, and spiritual". acadianacenterforhtearts.org.
