Original Cyanotype on Paper 15 x 22"

This cyanotype showcases a beautifully layered arrangement of fern fronds, ascending in a symmetrical pattern that evokes the structure of a tree. The fern branches spread upward and outward, conveying a sense of calm resilience and natural order. Surrounding the fern are star-shaped elements, like distant constellations, enhancing the serene atmosphere of the artwork. The background is a deep, cool blue that contrasts with the delicate white of the ferns, creating a harmonious visual effect that feels both grounded and expansive, reminiscent of peaceful forest landscapes under a vast sky.

Each cyanotype is a one-of-a-kind original, crafted from leaves I've gathered from around the world, making each piece like a journal of my travels. Made on watercolor paper, each artwork has my signature on the front and back. The cyanotype process involves soaking the paper in water, sometimes multiple times, which can create small tears. I've reinforced these spots with tape when needed, though they won’t show once framed. This process uses sunlight to create natural shapes in rich blue tones, giving each piece its own unique character.
