Solitary Madrone (12 x 18" original hand-printed cyanotype)
(12 x 18" original hand-printed cyanotype)
Unmatted.
Unframed.
This is a narrower 2:3 format of the larger 18 x 24" Madrone Tree which is a 3:4 format.
This is a handmade contact photo using the antique cyanotype process from the 1800s. All of my hand-printed cyanotype photographs are “contact photos”, which means that the large negative is exactly the same size as the paper that the photo is printed on because the negative is laid directly on top of the paper while it is being exposed.
The paper is a heavy 100% cotton watercolor paper. Slight variations of shades of blue exist from print to print as each sheet of paper was hand-painted with photo chemicals in the dark and printed in natural sunlight with variations in the weather and intensity of light causing some prints to be darker than others.
