About the Item

This striped collage in all shades of indigo calls to mind Indonesian or Guatemalan woven textiles. The pattern mounted on wood panel was made by hand-printing, then then slicing into strips and arranging, botanical cyanotype prints of native Californian wild grass. The 1.5 inch deep wooden sides are painted white. Long narrow blue prints of grass exposed for varying lengths of time to achieve different shades of blue were cut and arranged into a 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.
