Although this looks like a block print or screen print it is actually a form of 19th century photography called a cyanotype.
“Cyan” means blue in Greek. However I dramatically altered the normal ratios of the two chemicals which comprise the photo emulsion, yielding not the traditional dark blue and white but a pale mint green and pale yellow. This is a very soft subtle pastel hue. The species of tree is called "Dancing Peacock Japanese Maple" and grows in my garden.
This was not made with ink and a printing press. All my botanical cyanotypes are unique monoprints, having been made with fresh cut plants which wilted soon afterwards. There is no block or metal plate which can be inked and re-used.
