UNFRAMED. Unique monotype. On heavy 100% cotton watercolor paper. Signed on the back by the artist.
Ships rolled in a tube.
This is a native California reed or wild grass that grows in wetlands called “Gray Rush” (Juncus Patens). Although this looks like an etching or block print, it is a cyanotype, a type of 19th century cameraless photography also known as blueprints or sun prints.
It is difficult to make one this size, 3 feet long, as the glass needed to lie on top of the cut plants is as long as the paper or longer. Glass and plexiglass this size is heavy and hard to move without the plants underneath sliding out of position or the glass breaking or cracking.
Every one of my botanical cyanotypes is an entirely unique monotype as each blade of grass or twig is laid by hand in that exact composition only once. I spend as much time planning and arranging the composition as I do exposing and rinsing the final print. There is no copper plate; there is no ink or printing press to make more than one copy.
