Natural history

In Natural History, we transform portraits into tangled shadows of time. Grafting techniques from the history of photography, the cyanotype impressions of botanicals pay homage to Anna Atkins' use of the medium in the nineteenth century while the underlying portraits are printed using digital technology. They speak of evanescence and hidden nature.

They wished to flower,
and flowering is being beautiful:
but we wish to ripen,
and that means being dark and taking pains.
—Rainer Maria Rilke

Cyanotype Fabric

Check out graphic design artist Sarah Kissell's website (Pure Magenta). Specifically her project: "Still Remains: The Immortal Cycle of an Icon, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis". She utilizes cyanotype for the book's cover (looks like photogram of pearls) and a cyanotype cloth body bag.

Cyanotypes!

I was looking for some unqiue cyanotypists and I stumbled across this guy, Matt Shapoff.

He uses the cyanotype technology to print on fabrics and makes beautiful scarfs, bags etc.

Crafty Cyanotypes

Can't leave craft queen Martha Stewart out of the Cyanotype process!
They made a cyanotype on cork board:

 This led me to consider perhaps the ability to make a cyanotype on a stretched canvas.
