Aditi Ganeev Sangwan is a Brampton-based multidisciplinary visual artist and works in diverse media.

One aspect of her creative practices involves photography and cyanotype. She chooses this light-sensitive medium as a compelling alternative to traditional chemical photography, with its unique attributes spanning the realms of discourse, memory, and layered visuals, concepts, and materiality.

She uses digital negatives with distinctive qualities of collage, Photoshop, and scanning, then develops handmade photographs to set them apart from digital imaging.

This series of photographic artworks is executed with the idea of blending different realities and memories into a new kind of existence that challenges imagination and creates surreal images.

Cyanotype is one of the earliest photographic techniques, invented in the 1840s, and involves iron salts, UV light and water  to create cyan-blue images.
