Cyanotype of two Poppies on Arches Platine Cotton Rag paper.

61 × 61cm. Unframed print with deckle edges.

(Second image shows the print framed, together with companion pieces, Poppy I and Poppy II.)

I make each cyanotype print by hand coating cotton rag paper with a specially mixed light sensitive solution in very dim lighting. I then let it dry overnight. I expose it under a large negative and a piece of glass, usually the sun. I then rinse the paper in water and the blue image emerges.

Each print is slightly different due to the brushstrokes and other variations in the handmade process.

Limited edition of 6 prints. Prints are signed and dated on the reverse.
