Catmint - Limited Edition of 1 Print

A unique cyanotype photographic print. This artwork is created with photo reactive ink, painted onto Hahnemühle watercolour paper and exposed to sunlight. The UV rays are blocked by objects placed on the paper, causing negative impressions or traces of where they once were. Cyanotype photography is the perfect medium to capture the intagibility of the natural, and create somewhat ghostly images of moving shadows; the breeze gently brushing through the trees and long grass. This work was made in Summer 2020, at the height of the tensions and restrictions of lockdown, where the closest local green areas took on such importance. With ever changing seasons and the inevitibilty of all things passing, this process acts as a snapshot of a hazy summer afternoon.
