"BOUNDARIES III" is a cyanotype artwork that playfully captures the shadows of flowers; formed under a blazing sun & preserved forever in this cameraless photograph.
CYANOTYPES INSPIRED BY AFFIRMATION CARDS.
... a project which is exactly as it sounds, pick a card and make an artwork in response - one day I picked a card about boundaries from my gorgeous #TheEmpoweredWoman deck by Lesley Stonier ... and the Cyanotype representation/response seemed so obvious to me as soon as I read it. I loved it so much, and it meant so much to me, that I found myself making more, and then I thought, yes; wouldn't it be wonderful to offer this visual representation to others?
With a centre of forget-me-nots, and a surrounding ring of mixed petals, seeds, pollen and seedheads (cornflower, fennel, marigold, etc) all the things that scatter in the breeze.
Option to upgrade + add 24ct gold leaf embellishment.
The artwork is approx. A3, and is sold unframed.
Why not add an A3 magnetic print hanger?
"BOUNDARIES III" (A3 cyanotype)
Cyanotype is a photographic technique dating back to the 1800s - it is a method of capturing shadows on a light-sensitive page: when sunlight/UV light is introduced, areas of shadow remain the white of the page, and areas touched by the light undergo a chemical reaction, transforming into beautiful shades of blue once washed.
Much like how flowers of the same variety grow in their own unique ways, cyanotypes are all unique, even when created in the same way, with the same tools - that's the magic of the cameraless photography process, it's always a bit of a surprise outcome, and that's why I love it!
It is normal for these artworks to incur some small dents along the way due to the washing/processing techniques; these may have been cut off, so your print will be slightly smaller than A4/A3, or they may have been left in situ as part of the character and history of the piece. Every effort is made to ensure the best outcome for each artwork.
