Ky lives in London, working across disciplines, employing both traditional and alternative techniques, with an interest in process, slow photography, pinhole and camera-less methods.

Predominantly using light and chemicals, she experiments to create images with environmental, ecological and time-based elements. She has exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally. „Searching for Light” is a double durational study, documenting the passage of the sun whilst looking at the effect of temperature, humidity and light on seeds contained within the camera.
These lay in situ for 60 days. 24 cameras were placed and 22 retrieved, results and failures were both recorded.
