Blue Valley (original abstract cyanotype mounted on wood panel, 24 x 12 inches/ 60 x 30 cm)
(cyanotype mounted on 1.5” deep wood panel, 24 x 12 inches/ 60 x 30 cm)
No need t o frame this. It’s ready to hang on the wall.
Though this monotype resembles an aquatint etching or watercolor painting, it is actually a form of photography called a cyanotype or sun print. With my years of experience in traditional printmaking, I often mimic printmaking effects when I use the cyanotype process . Instead of creating an image by blocking light with solid objects (such as plants) on the light-sensitive paper, I used water to block the light, creating subtle gradations of blue as I submerged the light-sensitive paper for carefully timed exposures under water.
