Two Sides of the Mountain Diptych (Two 24 x 13" unframed cyanotypes on paper)
(Two 24 x 13" unframed monotypes)
Unframed. Depictions of the artwork framed are simply to show the half dozen possible orientations. They could be framed in one frame together under one mat or in two separate frames.
Though they resemble watercolor paintings or aquatint etchings, these are actually a form of photography called a cyanotype, photogram or sun print. What you see is a multiple-exposure lensless photograph.
My technique is a form of experimental photography. Each abstract cyanotype is entirely unique.
These exact lines, shapes and shades of blue cannot be recreated as the exposure of the paper was heavily manipulated by me during each printing.
A traditional single-exposure cyanotype yields a white silhouette against a dark blue background. But instead of creating a white image by blocking light with solid objects on the light-sensitive paper, I used water to block the light, creating subtle gradations of darkening blue as I submerged the light-sensitive paper for different carefully timed exposures under water.
