Christine So
Blue and White (Single 16 x 16 inch monotype collage mounted on wood panel)

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.
