Thornton is an Oakland-based land artist and archivist who makes black-and-white film photographs developed using foraged plants, rainwater, and low-toxicity household ingredients instead of traditional darkroom chemicals. She pairs each developer plant with the landscape it comes from — so the same plant that grows in a place also develops the photograph of it. beatricevictoria.com
