Dora Somosi is a Hungarian-American lens-based artist whose practice centers on the natural world and alternative photographic processes. Working with cyanotype, hand-coated paper and embroidery thread dyed with foraged plants, she combines photography with tactile processes and traditions of handwork.

By Her side
By Her Side is an ongoing series focused on witness trees near the former homes and studios of pioneering women artists and thinkers. Translated into large-scale cyanotypes, these portraits by proxy trace enduring connections between creative legacies and the land.
Mending
Mending is a response to the irregularities produced by chemistry and light on cyanotypes. Drawing on the principles of kintsugi and traditional Hungarian handwork, the series uses embroidery and threads dyed with foraged plants to repair and transform prints that would have otherwise been discarded.
