Aurora Burnett Kuhn

Aurora Burnett Kuhn is an analogue darkroom photographer who uses the fluidity of the human body to intertwine with the angelic nature of water and textiles. She creates a sultry environment that reflects Aurora's subject matter, with the focus looking at femininity in a masculine form and how the human body has a gracefulness to it that creates beauty in its own figure for all eyes to see and gives the viewer an invitation to feel the emotive siren desire that is the human body. The sensation of touch and intimacy has a fluid and quiet beauty to it that comes to the mind when spoken. Questioning the ideology of femineity as a definition within experimental photography, there are different notions of intimacy and softness such as touch and feeling, the beauty of its softness. By photographing close-up shots of her partner's back and chest and then using liquid emulsion in the darkroom she experiments with printing onto fabrics such as silk sheets and cotton blankets blending and blurring the lines between skin-to-skin contact with the sensuality of delicate fabrics.
