Caitriona Dunnett’s practice is deeply shaped by the land and the stories it holds. She explores the layered heritage of landscape, often intertwining it with personal narratives to evoke memory, trace, and legacy. Central to her work is a commitment to experimentation and to finding the most resonant technique to convey each story.

Dunnett works primarily with camera-less photographic processes, such as the lumen print, capturing the delicate interaction between plants, light, and surface. She also integrates contemporary methods, transforming digital files into contact negatives to produce handcrafted prints. Her main medium is cyanotype—an early, low-toxicity photographic technique developed by John Herschel—which she subtly tones using organic materials, adding further layers of meaning and sensory connection to her images.
