These are two unique hand-printed 30x 22" cyanotypes made without a camera or a photo negative. Sold unframed.

Their combined area is 30h x 44" w unframed. However, once matted and framed, they span 5 feet with a gap if framed at 28"w x 36"h EACH with a 4-inch gap between.

Though these monoprints look like wood cuts or screen prints, they are actually a form of photography called a cyanotype. Every botanical cyanotype I make is unique made using fresh plants and trees from my own garden 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 gaining mastery of.

On heavy 100% cotton acid-free watercolor paper. Ships rolled in a tube.

The World Is Blue: Hand-Printed Botanical, Landscape and Abstract Cyanotypes

Christine So is a native San Franciscan painter, photographer and printmaker living across the bay in the hills of Oakland, California. Her paintings and cyanotypes have been commissioned by Starbucks, Mayo Clinic, Kimpton Hotels, Wyndham Worldmark Hotels, MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, UTMB Hospital in Galveston and purchased by private collectors in 10 countries, among them, Timothée Chalamet.

Her calm, monochromatic, nature-inspired works on paper are not printed with ink but are actually a form of photography from the 1800s. She works in the antique photographic process of cyanotypes, creating abstract and botanical monotypes in shades of blue as well as landscape photographs of the foggy woods where she lives. The plants used in her one-off prints are cut from her own garden or found in the woods nearby and printed on pure cotton watercolor paper. No two are alike. Only her landscape photographs developed using giant negatives and the same cyanotype chemicals are replicable, yet even those hand-printed photographs each differ slightly.

She paints in acrylic on canvas and prints cyanotypes on paper. Most of her works on paper are sold unframed though the display photos may depict them as framed on a virtual wall to give a sense of their size. There are some paintings listed as unframed and others as framed. Take not of the description before purchasing.
