Bending Wild Grass 2 (original botanical cyanotype on paper, 16 x 12 inches)
(12 x 16” original cyanotype on 100% cotton acid-free watercolor paper)
Unframed.
This monoprint may resemble an etching or block print but it is a cyanotype, a form of 19th century cameraless photography also known as blueprints or sun prints.
The species of local wild grass I used is called California Bullrush. It is native to Northern California and grows in local wetlands and gardens like mine.
Every one of my botanical cyanotypes is an entirely unique monotype as the cut plants are laid by hand in that one exact composition only once. Even if I reuse the same plants once or twice before they wilt, no two of my botanical cyanotypes are ever identical. There is no carved block nor etched copper plate; there is no ink or printing press to be able to reproduce the same image twice.
(12 x 16” original cyanotype on 100% cotton acid-free watercolor paper)
All prices include free shipping within the United States via UPS ground shipping. A tracking number will be provided.
