Three Eucalyptus Branches (24 x 18" Original Cyanotype)
(24 x 18" Cyanotype on Paper, unframed)
This is a triple-exposure cyanotype, which means that each of the plants laid on the photo-sensitive paper was exposed for 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.
NOTE: On sale. This is a different brand of paper than what I normally use, not the 100% cotton cold press watercolor paper. it has a smoother texture and the darkest blue is not as dark of a navy as in other botanicals of mine.
