These are two 18 x 24" original one-of-a-kind monotypes. Though they resemble block prints or screen prints, they are a kind of 19th century cameraless photography called a cyanotype. If matted and framed in 24 x 30" standard frames, they will span over 4 feet horizontally with a gap. Every one of my botanical cyanotypes is a one-of-a-kind made using fresh cut plants from my own garden.
"Cyan" means blue in Greek and cyanotypes are normally blue and white. These cyanotypes started as blue prints but were "toned" or altered in color through a soaking in sodium carbonate, a natural detergent. The darker the original blue print, the darker the yellow will be upon toning (altering the color).
The color transformation process takes two extra hours, and there is always the possibility of destroying the print if small spots in the original resist changing color from blue to yellow and remain as dark splotches on the yellow. About one of every three ends up neither fully yellow while the original blue is lost. The failure rate is high, creating wasted time and ruined artwork. Thus, the cost of my yellow cyanotypes is higher than for my blue cyanotypes.
On 100% cotton watercolor paper. Signed on the back by the artist.
