Moon for Remembering Painting

Inspiration During these pandemic times when travel is restricted and borders are closed, this moon reminds us that while our reality may have narrowed for a time, the Earth still grows glorious springtime wildflower meadows, mountain ranges continue to top with snow during the winter season, rivers still run, the ocean teems with creatures, the moon waxes and wanes every month. For now, all of this still happens, even when we can’t see it. This moon reminds us that you can quietly call in trips you once took, cities you visited, people you lost yourself with, forests that bathed you in cool oxygen, sunsets and night skies that mesmerized you, and vistas that made you hold your breath with awe. This is a moon for remembering that we each have a lifetime of experiences within us. Lessons from the Moon Collection This piece is part of my "Lessons from the Moon" collection. Each mixed media cyanotype in this collection reflects lessons from the moon, as she accompanies us every night through this global pandemic season. About my Process Cyanotypes are a photographic process that use a UV-sensitive emulsion that reacts with the sun to create ethereal images in blue and white. Since this process is so dependent on the weather, light conditions, seasons, and timing, there is an unpredictable nature to the outcome of each piece that can’t be replicated. To me, this is part of the mystery of this art form. In addition to the outdoor elements required for cyanotype creation, I used seed pods and collage to create this piece. Each piece is made on thick, bright white, Arches watercolor paper with deckled edges. It’s intriguing to me that the subject matter, the paper substrate, and even the piece itself uses Nature as an integral part of its creation process. I'm collaborating with Nature to create art in celebration of Nature. My hope is that when people experience this collection, they feel an immediate sense of connection and grounding with Nature. A moment of calm during the uncertain times around us. Unique features Please note that due to the cyanotype process, there may be slight undulations in the paper and each piece features a unique blue ranging from cyan to indigo to Prussian blue. This is normal. Refer to one of the included images to see examples of the variations in blue and deckled edges. This piece is 22x 30 inches and unframed. It would look stunning when float mounted in a thin brushed silver, black, or light maple frame.
