Night Laurel Diptych (Two 40 x 26" unframed original cyanotypes on paper)
(TWO original cyanotypes on paper, 40 x 26 inches each,
COMBINED total of 40h x 52w inches)
UNFRAMED.
Images of the prints framed are just to give a sense of how much wall they would cover once framed with a gap between them. The width of each 26" wide print would increase to at least 30 inches once framed, so the span is over 60 inches (5 feet or 180cm) when including a gap between the two panels.
Unlike "Bay Laurel Diptych", the other diptych of the same size of the same species of tree, this pair of monotypes uses totally different tree branches and is not a perfectly symmetrical pair of mirror images. It's more natural, the way things look while walking under a canopy of trees in the woods.
Every botanical cyanotype I make is unique made using fresh cut plants and trees laid in that exact composition on the hand-coated light-sensitive paper only once then exposed to sunlight. These are branches of a native California Bay Laurel tree which grows all over the hills east of San Francisco.
On heavy 100% cotton Arches watercolor paper.
Deckled edges which look nice if float framed without a mat.
