This very large Moon cyanotype is unique as it shows the visible side of the moon and the dark side of the moon along with a small visible moon view. The first and second images have locations on the moon with names which are useful and technical for study. The print is hand processed using the cyanotype photographic method. Three large film negatives are exposed on a massive custom sheet of Arches French watercolor paper (high end 100% cotton paper) . The sheet is then carefully coated to ensure an even consistent color, dried and exposed under UV light causing the reaction to change the oxide solution into a deep blue. The cyanotype process is an old photographic process that predates silver based photography and was used with great effect on the field to document plant specimens .

This print has a rich vibrant blue that is unique to the process and is very striking. The artwork measures: 45.5” x 72” with natural deckle edges and comes discretely signed in pencil on lower right.
