Why do I love making cyanotypes? 

​

I love the unpredictable outcome of the cyanotypes and the imperfections. Purposely imperfection gives my work the personality that I am looking for.  Every blueprint I create is a unique artwork.  

​

The magical moment when the blueprint is developing is always a highlight! My work is moving between photography, art and design. 

​

In my artwork I’m often looking for unexplored territories. 

One of them is trying to express personal feelings and emotional issues by portraying them. I experiment with lots of materials, especially transparent ones. 

​

Glass or plastic objects are interesting as the sun shines through them and makes beautiful  shadows and shades depending on the height of the sun. 

​

The cyanotype process is a rather simple one:

I start with blending together the two solutions of  potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium citrate in equal parts.

 

Then I coat my water colour paper and let it dry in the dark. After at least 15 minutes of drying I  put my materials on to the paper and place it in to direct sunlight.

After exposing the photo is rinsed in water and the white print comes out on a blue background.
