Cyanotypes
Cyanotypes are a photographic printing process that use a UV-sensitive emulsion that reacts with the sun to create ethereal images in deep blues and white. I create each cyanotype using plants that I grow or gather from my garden, my neighborhood, and around the city. Since this process is so dependent on the weather, light conditions, seasons, and timing, there is an unpredictable nature to the outcome of each piece that can’t be replicated. To me, this is part of the mystery of this art form.
