Ghost Maple Diptych (Two 24 x 12 inch cyanotypes mounted on 1.5" deep wood panels)
These blue and white monotypes look like block prints or screen prints but are actually lensless photographs.Cyanotypes are a form of 19th century photography also known as sun prints and blueprints.
The thick watercolor paper is mounted on wooden panels with their 1.5 inch deep sides painted white as well as the front edge, which serves as a frame. Each panel individually measures 12 x 24 x 1.5 inches (30 x 60 x 4 cm). These two mounted prints on panels can be hung close together or spaced apart in a hallway or staircase.
The paper is sealed with a very thin coat of rubbed-on cold wax medium. This matte barely perceptible layer protects the paper against dirt, dust and moisture, but does not have the noticeable thick, shiny, glassy look of an encaustic finish.
