Cyanotype Iris
The print was created by applying Cyanotype chemicals to a Japanese handmade paper, making the paper sensitive to UV (ultraviolet) light. A digital negative was created from an original photograph (printed on a transparency sheet). They were then pressed together in a contact frame and exposed under a UV lamp for a few minutes to create the image on the exposed paper. The paper was then developed by rinsing it in water. The parts that were exposed turn blue, providing the typical Cyanotype look.
The Cyanotype process was invented in the 1840’s.
Each print is individually created. The image will not fade.
The print is 5 ½ x 7 inches, mounted in an 8 x 10 inch mat.
