SOLD. If you would like to commission a similar large scale diptych of this kind of tree, it must be between April and November. I use fresh-cut actual branches, and the Chinese Elm trees, whose branches I used to make these cyanotypes, lose their leaves in winter.
These are two separate square prints each measuring 32 h x 32 inches w. (combined 32h x 64w") They could each be framed in a 36 x 36" frame. Side by side once framed, they will span over 6 feet on a wall, with a gap, which is perfect above an average 7-ft couch.
This particular graceful tree is a Chinese Elm (ulmus parvifolia).The long delicate branches packed with tiny leaves hang like those of a willow tree. At 33 x 66 inches, this is the biggest size of cyanotype diptych that I have made.
Though these monoprints look like woodcuts or screen prints, they are actually created using a form of photography called a cyanotype also known as a blueprint, photogram or sun print. Every botanical cyanotype I make is unique made using fresh plants and trees laid in that exact composition on the hand-coated light-sensitive paper only once.
There is no ink, no printing press and no copper plate or wood block. Exposing and rinsing a sun print this big outdoors — with a sheet of glass even bigger than the paper —is a complicated affair, but one I am going to be exploring further.
