Christine So
Woodland Path (24 x 18 inch cyanotype painting)

2024

About the Item

This is a combination of painting and photography, the antique cyanotype process. The silhouette of the plant was first drawn, then painted not with ink or paint, but with light-sensitive photo emulsion. The blue and white pattern seen in each leaf is a sun print or lensless photograph of tiny plants laid on top of the painted area. 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. The artist named this ongoing series of botanical paintings which have a fine blue and white pattern “Delft Garden” after the Dutch painted porcelain. The silhouette painted here is that of wild mugwort. Unframed. Signed on the back. On 100% cotton watercolor paper with straight cut edges, not deckled edges. Free shipping to the United States.

The Pond II (hand-printed botanical cyanotype, 24 x 18 inches)
Located in Oakland, CA
Unframed. Although this looks like an etching or block print, it is a cyanotype, a type of 19th century cameraless photography also known as blueprints or sun prints. No ink or paint was involved and no photo negative either. This monotype was made by carefully arranging hundreds of individual blades of fresh-cut native Californian wild grass. The species of tall marsh grass is called Gray Rush or the latin name juncus patens. It is native to Northern California and grows in local wetlands. If not cut back, it it would grow over 4 feet tall. Every one of Christine So...
