The large water cyanotype adds a whole window to any environment and becomes a central meditative point. The cyanotypes is printed on heavy 140lb handmade Arches watercolor paper. Very even rich blue that is a product of the developing process. We have improved the piece and now it is available in a continuous 45.5” x 60” size . Manikin shown next to piece is over 6’ tall for scale. Below is a small blurb of the cyanotype process:

The cyanotype process was developed by scientist and astronomer John
Herschel in 1842. The process was created only three years after
photography was invented. This process instead of using silver like
typical photography uses iron. The iron ‘salt’ solutions are combined
and coated on watercolor paper in a dark room and allowed to dry. When
a negative or plant material is placed on the paper it becomes a film
negative. The uncovered areas are exposed to UV light and cause a
reaction to the iron solution reducing it chemically to a deep
Prussian blue. The print is then washed and the covered dark areas on
the negative create the white and the exposed become deep blue. It is
a simple and natural process.
