Artist Statement
These yellow prints are actually toned blue prints. Cyanotypes are a form of 19th century cameraless photography also known as sun prints and blueprints. The chemicals in the photo emulsion typically produce a blue and white image. However, this print was “toned” or bleached in detergent to turn it a warm shade of yellow.
The thick watercolor paper is mounted on wooden panels with their 1.5 inch deep sides painted white as well as the front edge, which serves as a frame. Each panel individually measures 12 x 24 inches (30 x 60 cm). These two mounted prints on panels can be hung close together or spaced apart in a hallway or staircase.
The paper is sealed with a very thin coat of rubbed-on cold wax medium. This matte barely perceptible layer protects the paper against dirt, dust and moisture, but does not have the noticeable thick, shiny, glassy look of an encaustic finish.
