About the Item
Picturesque Botany (Tondo/Rose, Cornflower, Queen Anne’s Lace, Moonflower, Delphinium, Vines, etc.)
Botanical cyanotype painting of various flora and fauna by Julia Whitney Barnes
Image dimensions: 18 x 18 inches / Frame dimensions: 26 x 26 inches
Using various paint mediums and cyanotype — a printing process that yields a blue image when a chemistry-coated surface is exposed to sunlight — the artist Julia Whitney Barnes cultivates Edenic vignettes. Rooted in the work of women artists and scientists like Anna Atkins, Whitney Barnes’ compositions exalt all plant life “with equal importance, regardless of whether it is a weed, rare species, wildflower, or cultivated flower,” said Whitney Barnes in an interview with Create Magazine.
Cyanotype is a camera-less photographic printing process invented in 1842 which produces a cyan-blue print when a non-toxic chemistry-coated surface is exposed to sunlight. Through the use of this medium, Whitney Barnes manipulates physical impressions of plants grown locally in her Hudson Valley garden and other nearby areas, along with intricately cutout photographic negatives. Given that sunlight starts the exposure process with cyanotype chemistry, select flowers are carefully arranged into compositions at night, followed by long exposures under natural or UV light to create the final prints. Once the unique cyan imagery is fused, Whitney Barnes meticulously paints the exposed watercolor paper with multiple layers of watercolor, ink and gouache. Each cyanotype is created by the power of light, inspiring viewers to look at these very recognizable images in new and different ways.
This piece is especially dynamic, owing to its circular shape housed within an octagonal frame. What's more, the Flemish-style frame is complete with anti-reflective museum glass glazing.
