(one individual print, 24 x 18” on paper, unframed)

This is the right panel in the image of the pair of monoprints together. (Summer Trees 1 and Summer trees 2 are identical in size and color and composition. If both branches were poing up, they’d curve the same direction towards the right. When one is pointing down and the other is pointing up, there is more visual interest.

My botanical cyanotypes are each one-of-a-kind slow cameraless photographs made outdoors using natural light. There is no lens and there is no etched plate or printing press.

This is a triple-exposure cyanotype, which means that each of the plants laid on the photo-sensitive paper was exposed for three different carefully measured amounts of time, creating the varying shades of blue rather than a solid white silhouette against a dark blue background as in traditional cyanotypes.

Every botanical cyanotype I make is a unique monotype. 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.

Price only includes ONE print. The other print of a similar name, (Summer Trees) is sold separately but I have shown photos of how they might look side by side on a wall.
