Sometimes cyanotypes come in waves! This set of prints was made from images of waves on the Fox River in Appleton. The rains last week plus the melting snow resulted in massive waves in the rapids. This is the first set of prints from this outing. I have 3 or 4 more images that should make excellent prints.
If you look closely you will see variations in each print. Each print is indeed unique based on the sunlight during exposure, how I coat and sensitize the paper and variations in washing/development. I also did some experiments with my chemistry for this set. My goal was to get a really deep cobalt blue color. I think I achieved that in a few of the prints and have the recipe written down for future reference.
All of these prints will be for sale at art shows this Summer. My first show will be Appleton’s Art in the Park.
I have a pretty big set of prints I am getting ready – both framed and unframed. Watch this site for more news in the weeks to come.
