Light through Leaves 8 (24 x 18 inches/ 45 x 60 cm)
(2021. Cyanotype on paper, 24 x 18 inches/ 45 x 60 cm)
Just added!
This is a quadruple-exposure cyanotype made using the same method and of the same size as the others in the series ‘Light through Leaves’.
Cyanotypes are a 19th century form of cameraless photography. The one-of-a-kind images are hand-printed. The moonlit dreamlike quality of the ghostly overlapping images comes from re-exposing the images several times one on top of the other.
My botanical cyanotypes are each one-of-a-kind slow cameraless photographs made outdoors using natural light and no film negative. There is no lens and there is no etched plate, ink or printing press. As much time is spent in arranging their composition and timing the separate exposures as goes into the final exposure and rinsing.
There is no way to reproduce exactly the same effects even if I keep the same plant cuttings to use in a series before they wilt. There is no carved block nor etched copper plate—only the sun causing the photo chemicals to darken every second that it remains exposed to light.
UNFRAMED.
Depictions of works on paper matted and framed are to give a sense of how works would look framed and how much wall space they would cover.
