Glinting Canopy - Limited Edition of 30 Photograph

Our legacy and that of previous minds influences Marianne Nix’s work. Linking into the correspondence between Darwin and JD Hooker and the glass houses at Kew Gardens, London and in this case, plant explorers and the work of Anna Atkins, a botanist, who made cyanotype images of the flora she collected in the 19th Century, earning her place as a founding mother of photography. Nix uses thick Saunders Waterford paper and paints the reactive chemicals onto it by hand. A transparency of a photograph (taken by Nix) are then placed on the paper. The paper is exposed to sunlight, washed in water with added vinegar or lemon juice to deepen the blue colour and dried flat for a few days under heavy weights. Each exposure is unique, dependent on the weather, the day of year, the duration and time of day when exposed to sunlight.
