One decade ago, Naranjo Sandoval made a decision to move alone from her hometown of Mexico City to New York City. In acclimating to life in the United States, Naranjo Sandoval was acutely aware of the absence of her family’s company. In response, the artist began to create a family album that foregrounded herself as the single member of the unit. The resulting photographs are intimate self-portraits in various settings including in her home, vulnerably unclothed or ascending a stone structure, physically self-possessed.

In 1843, a year after the invention of cyanotype, Anna Atkins created what is now recognized as the first photographic book, Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions.

Cyanotype is a camera-less photographic process. Objects are placed on paper coated with iron salts, then exposed to UV light. The result, after washing with water, is a striking contrast of white shapes against Prussian blue backgrounds.

Dear Anna Atkins is a series of 100 one-of-a-kind cyanotype books. They are specimen books, cataloging tissue paper in chance-based, random positions, where the act of re-creation through cyanotype becomes an homage—a way of embracing plagiarism as a sincere form of admiration. Dear Anna Atkins is the first title in the Dear… series, where each publication explores plagiarism as an art of tribute to creators who have informed our practice.

Please note that each copy is unique, with varying images.

This book gives new life to used Riso masters—banana leaves fiber sheets normally tossed after printing. By laminating fragments of these ink-stained stencils, I captured the bold, layered colors of Riso in unexpected ways. Some pages show single tones, while others mix colors as they overlap.

Each book is one of a kind, serving as a sort of personal swatch book for Riso colors. Each book is unique! The photos here represent one unique book

About the Author
Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe (Sheroana, 1971) is an indigenous Yanomami artist who lives and works between Caracas and Platanal, Venezuela. Beginning in the 90’s, Hakihiiwe has been developing a visual language that traces and memorializes indigenous landscapes, cosmogony, and ancestral traditions.

Hakihiiwe’s works are conceived as an expression of knowledge passed through generations and as a foundation that unites the ancestral with the present. As he aims to recover the oral memory of his people, the contemporary works of Hakihiiwe disrupts the linear time framework by having motifs of the past and present coexist with imagined futures.  — Dejá Belardo, 2024  (Assistant Curator – Visual Arts and Civic Programs, The Shed)
