In the garden - A light breeze

Cyanotype triptych on Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag 300gsm.

The artwork is made up of 3 prints with the total size being 38 x 83 cm. It is not mounted or framed. 

'A light breeze' captures the feeling of standing among the willows as their branches dance in a light breeze. It was made by arranging layers of willow leaves between sheets of glass on top of paper coated with a photosensitive emulsion. This was then exposed to sunlight to capture the image, before being washed in water. A watercolour wash was added to produce the final picture.

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!
