About cyanotype:
A cyanotype (sun-print) is light sensitive photographic print that dates back to the 1840’s. I create my art by painting a light sensitive solution onto solid wood, paper or fabric. The surface is covered with ethically collected organic materials that I have found or pressed. I then expose the surface to sunlight. Whatever is on the surface, plants or a negative, blocks the light and the remaining surface that is exposed to sunlight will be chemically altered. Finally, it is washed with water which rinses off the remaining chemicals and results in a deep Prussian blue color.
