SOLD - Sitting pretty

Cyanotype on Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag 300gsm.

The print is presented in a 20 x 40 cm white timber frame. 

'Sitting pretty' features a gorgeous fluffball called a Lilac breasted roller, perched comfortably on a branch surveying the scene before it with quiet concentration. I can't help wishing I could be there to see what it is seeing, and feel the gentle breeze that ruffles its feathers. The original photograph is courtesy of Madiba.

It was made by placing a photo negative, optimised for the cyanotype process, on paper coated with a photosensitive emulsion. This was then exposed to sunlight before being washed to reveal the final image.

Cyanotypes are archival, meaning they will last for a really long time, but best displayed out of direct 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!
