SOLD - The drongo

Cyanotype on Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag 300gsm.

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

'The drongo' strikes a pose, glancing back over its shoulder as if it knows that this is its best camera angle. Showcasing the symmetry of its striking tail feathers and its glamorous headwear, the drongo is all attitude! The original photo is courtesy of Trison Thomas (www.browaterboy.com).

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!
