(22 x 30 inch botanical cyanotype on paper)
UNFRAMED.
These are young eucalyptus branches. Though this may look like a woodcut or aquatint etching it is technically a kind of photography. Cyanotypes are a 19th century alternative (cameraless) photographic process. The traditional cyanotypes are like this, a navy blue background with sharp white silhouettes.
All my botanical cyanotypes are one-of-kind monotypes. There is no etched copper plate, no carved wood block, no printing press and no ink to be able to reproduce these images. There is no film negative either. Each is a unique, hand-printed lensless photograph made using real plants from my own garden.
Hand-printed on 100% cotton Arches watercolor paper. Ships rolled in a tube.
