Christine SoThe Journey's End (Hand-printed cyanotype, 30 x 20 inches)2024
2024
About the Item
Unframed. 2022. Signed on the back.
This photograph was taken just weeks after the artist's husband died, thus the title, "The Journey's End." Paths that disappear into the mist, paths that bend obscuring what's ahead, or paths that end abruptly all serve as metaphors for life.
Hand-printed original cyanotype photograph on Arches hot press (smooth) cotton watercolor paper with deckled edges. Just one of 5 prints made in this large size. There are smaller sizes as well.
This is a hand-printed contact photograph using the antique cyanotype process and very big negatives which are the same size as the final print. They are of the woods in the hills of Oakland, across the bay from San Francisco in northern California. Printed outdoors using natural sunlight for exposure with giant photo negatives under glass and rinsed.

Christine So is an American printmaker, photographer and painter living in the hills across the bay from her hometown, San Francisco. She is best known for her blue and white cyanotype photographs of forests shrouded in fog. The Foggy Woods series is ever-growing as the artist continually hikes these hills which are often foggy at dawn. She explores radically different ways to use this antique photographic medium with and without out a camera. At times her blue prints look like screen prints. At others like abstract watercolors. Besides printing photographs from negatives, botanicals using entire branches, altering the chemical recipe to obtain novel colors, and creating abstract cyanotypes of deliberate patterns, she also paints images using the light-sensitive solution and prints a pattern within them. These last works she calls “cyanotype paintings”. The multiple-day process depends on being able to see while painting in a dark room so as to not expose the light-sensitive painted silhouette before it’s time. She named her series of botanical paintings which have a fine blue and white pattern “Delft Garden” after the Dutch painted porcelain.
