Grape Leaves Print - Limited Edition of 1

This photograph is made by a technique invented by me (I called it oxydo-lumenprinting), mixing different techniques. It is part of a project called "Imago Plantarum", inspired by Magical Herbarium. I choose plants that have a cultural heritage or a connection with mankind, picking flowers or leaves in the country that sourrounded my living place (Central Italy). In this print there are three grape leaves, symbols of human culture for centuries. Wine is not only a drink, it is also a tradition, and often a sacred drinking. A religious one. It is probably the most citated plant in the Holy Bible, for example. Grapes have a very wonderful leaves, so the shape it's "decorative" in its own; also, the technique I choose and tuning, add a special and chromatic texture, due to the hand made spread of sensible emulsion (cyanotype) on paper. The original 13x18 negative (not stable) is worked digitally to obtain the definitive one. I hope that people feel the magical and beauty of the leaves shapes, and the inner significance of the natural equilibrium of the shape itself. All the "Imago Plantarum" project is founded upon the mathematical order of the Fibonacci numbers, that express the harmony of nature.
