A deep space star field image is meditative and simple. I love making these pieces that are deep blue and calming and create a window to get lost in. The work was made using a very large film negative and was used to make and print the work using the cyanotype method. Piece is printed on a 22” x 30” sheet of Arches watercolor paper. A little blurb about the process below:

Each sheet of Arches French made 100% cotton watercolor paper is hand coated with a light sensitive solution and dried in a dark room. The paper is then exposed with a film negative under UV light . Then the print is washed with fresh water— during this process the solution chemically changes to a deep blue. The print is then dried in heavy paper stacks to wick away the water.
