Original Cyanotype on Paper 22 x 30"

This cyanotype reflects a balance of yin and yang, capturing the harmony between light and darkness, feminine and masculine energies. The ferns, flowing gracefully across the composition, symbolize resilience and natural beauty. Soft, curving waves divide the piece, suggesting an interplay of opposing forces that coexist in balance. The gentle shades of blue and white reinforce this duality, as if illuminated by both the soft glow of moonlight and the steady strength of daylight. This artwork speaks to the interconnectedness of contrasting elements, inviting a sense of peace and wholeness.

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.
