Chinese Elm Triptych (Three UNFRAMED original 40 x 22 inch cyanotypes)
These are 3 separate handmade prints each measuring 44h x 22w” or combined 40 x 78” unframed. What’s framed with the 2 inch border on the wall that was banned between six and 7 feet.
NOTE: These 40” tall botanicals are 4 inches narrower than the Bay Laurel prints.
Though these monoprints look like a wood cut or screen print, this is actually a form of photography called a cyanotype. Every botanical cyanotype I make is unique made using fresh plants and trees laid in that exact composition on the hand-coated light-sensitive paper only once.
There is no ink, no printing press and no copper plate or wood block. Exposing and rinsing a sun print this big outdoors — with a sheet of glass even bigger than the paper —is a complicated affair, but one I am going to be exploring further.
On 100% cotton acid-free watercolor paper. Ships rolled in a tube.
