Each unframed print measures 24 x 18 inches. Matted and framed in 30 x 24" frames, they span over 6 feet (72+ inches) horizontally.
Want to commission a NEW original botanical cyanotype or triptych?
I can make botanical cyanotypes as big as 22 x 30”, 24 x 36", 36 x 36", 26 x 40”, 30 x 40" and also 24" narrow by up to 60" in length but not more than 24" in width. If you need to cover a large area of wall, a triptych of three vertical cyanotypes works quite well.
All of my commissioned works are sold unframed.
Cyanotypes are a 19th century form of cameraless photography. These are triple-exposure cyanotypes, meaning that the plants were laid in three different locations on the photo-sensitive paper and the image was re-exposed for precise amounts of time, to create the ghostly overlapping images.
My botanical cyanotypes are each one-of-a-kind slow cameraless photographs made outdoors using natural light and no film negative. There is no lens and there is no etched plate or printing press. As much time is spent in their composition and timing the separate exposures as goes into the final exposure and rinsing.
There is no way to reproduce exactly the same effects even if I keep the same plant cuttings to use in a series before they wilt. There is no carved block nor etched copper plate—only the sun causing the photo chemicals to darken every second that it remains exposed to light.
The simple yet beautiful sight of sunlight shining through leaves always brings me joy. Their translucence no doubt inspired the stained glass windows of medieval cathedrals. I love abstract painting, and in my multiple-exposure cyanotypes, I convert nature into an abstraction of the repeated shapes, patterns and colors.
