Artist: Stevie Oliver from Imogene Gray
Original cyanotype on cotton embellished with hand embroidery.
Mounted in a 9-inch beech wood hoop
About cyanotype:
A cyanotype (sun-print) is light sensitive photographic print that dates back to the 1840’s. The surface is covered with ethically collected organic materials that Stevie has found or pressed. She then exposes the surface to sunlight. Whatever is on the surface, plants or a negative, blocks the light and the remaining surface that is exposed to sunlight will be chemically altered. Finally, it is washed with water which rinses off the remaining chemicals and results in a deep Prussian blue color.
Item available for pick-up only at Blue Light Junction 209McAllister St Baltimore, MD 21202
