InTreeVerted: Cyanotype, Film Negatives, Digital, 3D presentation

As an artist working with cyanotype in a modern context, I am fascinated by the historical origins of this unique photographic process and its connection to botanicals. By blending contemporary aesthetics with the traditional techniques of cyanotype, I aim to create a dialogue between past and present, exploring the intersection of art, science, and nature.

Cyanotype, with its distinctive blue hue and botanical subject matter, offers a rich visual language that resonates with the natural world. In my work, I seek to capture the intricate beauty of plant life through the cyanotype process, highlighting the delicate details and textures that are often overlooked in our fast-paced, digital world.

By incorporating modern elements and techniques into my cyanotype prints, such as digital creation of oversized negatives and mixed media, I strive to push the boundaries of this historical medium and create a contemporary interpretation of botanical art. Through this fusion of old and new, I hope to evoke a sense of nostalgia for the past while celebrating the timeless beauty of nature in a fresh and innovative way.

Ultimately, my goal in this series is to create art that not only captivates the viewer visually but also sparks a deeper appreciation for the history of cyanotype, and nature. By exploring the intersection of tradition and innovation, I aim to create work that is both timeless and relevant in today's ever-changing landscape.
