Unframed. A framed one of these 10 original hand-printed cyanotypes sold to Timothée Chalamet at The Other Art Fair in Los Angeles. There are still a limited number of unframed ones available using the same photo negative hand-printed on 18 x 24" watercolor paper.
The price of the 18 x 24" size is $250 and the price of the 12 x 16" size is $180.
This is one of 10 original hand-printed 18 x 24” photographs printed on pure cotton watercolor paper using the antique cyanotype process dating from the 1850s. Because I brushed the light-sensitive chemicals on by hand in my darkroom, and the sun is brighter on some days during exposure, there is slight variation in the darkness of the blues even when using the exact same exposure time. Any small white marks are not scratches but rather the gaps between the brush bristles as I pressed down while applying the photo chemicals, a sign that a photograph was handmade.
All of my hand-printed cyanotype photographs are “contact photos”, which means that the large negative is exactly the same size as the paper that the photo is printed on because the negative is laid directly on top of the paper while it is being exposed. It is cumbersome working with a breakable 30-inch sheet of glass at this scale.
These iconic Monterey Pines are in the woods near my house in northern California where I walk. Anyone from Oakland will recognize them. They are a great comfort to me. The changing light and foggy weather transform them so that every hour and every day is like seeing a new painting.
