In the garden - A dahlia fantasy

Cyanotype collage on Fabriano 300gsm.

The print is 50 x 50 cm. It is not mounted or framed.

It was made by arranging layers of leaves between glass sheets on top of paper coated with a photosensitive emulsion. This was then exposed to sunlight before being washed to reveal the final image. The flowers and hummingbird were also made with the cyanotype process. 

Cyanotypes are archival and can last for more than a century, but are best displayed out of direct, strong sunlight. If they do begin to fade over the years, you can place them in the dark for a week or two and, like magic, they will regain their full colour. In a way they are a living memory of what the sun saw in a given moment in time!
