Marie Craig
Ephemeral Photography
Marie Craig’s photographic works investigate the fragile intersections between nature, memory, and human intervention. Using cyanotype and layered photographic processes, she creates atmospheric images that transform landscapes, plants, and abandoned structures into meditations on impermanence, resilience, and environmental change.
Her work balances scientific observation with poetic abstraction, merging botanical imagery, architecture, and shifting fields of deep blue into compositions that feel both archival and dreamlike.

About the Work
Craig works primarily in photography, often incorporating cyanotype, photograms, archival pigment printing, and layered mixed media processes. Her compositions combine imagery of plants, ruins, industrial sites, oceans, and cityscapes, creating visual dialogues between the natural world and the built environment.
A recurring element throughout her work is the cyanotype process, whose deep blue tonalities evoke both historical photographic techniques and environmental uncertainty. Craig frequently manipulates or tones these images, allowing them to fade, dissolve, or transform over time—an approach that reflects her interest in impermanence and ecological vulnerability.
Her practice is informed by both science and observation. Trained in biology and medical photography, Craig approaches image-making with a sensitivity to structure, transformation, and systems of change. The resulting works feel simultaneously documentary and speculative, balancing precision with atmospheric ambiguity.
