ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The subject of these photographs is the print shop of the Icelandic Printmakers Association in Hafnarhúsið, Reykjavík. The pictures frame and enlarge the nuances and details of the print shop, creating abstract imagery. The pictures utilise the cyanotype process, a photographic method from 1842. The images, made on watercolour paper, are initially bright blue. They are then bleached and tinted with red pine bark, which gives the dark tones a metallic feel and the light colours a rusty style that goes well with the subject matter. Cyanotype, toned with red pine bark tannin extract. On Saunders Waterford 300g HP natural pappír/paper. Image area: 42x42 cm. Sheet size: 57x57 cm. Original: Fujifilm GFX100s m./w. GF 110mm f/2 linsu, 100ASA, 1/30, f/2. The cyanotype process is an artisanal alternative photographic technique, originally from 1842. More than one print may be made based on the same image. Due to the organic nature of the process, each version is unique.
