Christine SoBlue and White (Single 16 x 16 inch monotype collage mounted on wood panel)2020
2020
About the Item
This minimalist patterned collage calls to mind West African indigo textiles, Japanese Shibori fabric or perhaps the work of Ellsworth Kelley. The pattern mounted on wood panel was made by hand-printing, then then arranging into row after row , blue and white cyanotype prints of leaves from a California bay laurel tree. The 1.5 inch deep wooden sides are painted white.
Long narrow blue prints of leaves in a deliberately arranged pattern were assembled into a larger repeating pattern and permanently mounted onto a birch cradled panel with clear acrylic mat gel medium, which has no shine. Unlike ink or watercolor paints, cyanotypes do not fade if hung in direct sunlight.
Each of the one of the artist's collages on panel was made first hand-printing several monotypes made from plants in the artist's garden. Cyanotypes, also known as blueprints or sun prints, are a 19th century alternative photographic process which does not require a camera lens.
CARE: It is recommended you hang this artwork in a dry room rather than a damp location such as a bathroom.

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.
