Artwork Description

Mixed Media on paper

Signed certificate of authenticity.

This print is an original cyanotype collage. Also known as sun printing, cyanotype printing is a camera-less photography technique which uses sunlight to capture an image. I use the same method that was used in the 1800's.

The print is not mounted or framed.

The background was made by arranging layers of branches between sheets of glass on top of paper coated with a photosensitive emulsion. This was then exposed to sunlight before being washed to reveal the final image. The flowers are made with the same process but using inverted photographic negatives instead of the plants. The bird is hand-painted in watercolour and posca.

Cyanotypes are best displayed out of direct sunlight. If they do begin to fade over the years, you can place them in the dark for a week or two and, like magic, they will regain their full colour. In a way they are a living memory of what the sun saw in a given moment in time!

Please note that I retain copyright of this image and may use it to design products such as clothing, accessories and homewares.
