Annalise Neil
A Bleached and Traditional Watercolor Cyanotype, "Pattern Formation"

2023

About the Item

A one of a kind 42" long x 16" tall triptych when together without space between. Bleached and Traditional Watercolor Cyanotype and Woven Pine Needles on Wood Panel. A certificate of authenticity will be provided upon purchase or delivery. Neil’s cyanotype and watercolor works are conceptually driven, with inspiration coming from both recognizable subjects like nature and animals, to abstract, philosophical topics like quantum theory, perception, and time. In particular, Neil has been investigating the work of physicist Carlo Rovelli, psychologist and economist Daniel Kahneman, Professor of Forest Ecology Suzanne Simard, and essayist Rebecca Solnit. Starting with ideas prompted from research, Neil processes these topics in her sketchbook, writing down quotes and theoretical diagrams, which are then edited down to form the visual composition of the piece. Once she is satisfied with the visualization phase, Neil starts the cyanotype process: “Taking pictures throughout my extensive travels and time spent in nature has allowed me to build a library of images that I have subsequently turned into hand-cut, individual negatives. I have hundreds of them grouped into categories such as mushrooms, birds and plants, which I use to build my cyanotype compositions. After completing the photographic stage of the work–which often involves complex, sequential exposures–I may employ bleaching and toning to shift the color. I then use watercolor paint to sharpen and enhance formal qualities and to weave in narrative elements.” Neil hopes her work will help encourage public discourse around these topics, especially what it means to be human in an interconnected world: “… I am keenly interested in discussing states of awareness and connection. All properties of all things are relational, and life is only possible through a collaborative symphony—nothing exists independently. Every living thing is a complex, multidimensional universe that interacts with others to form a prismatic web of energy. I endeavor to create work that will lead to contemplation and reflection, and that invites a thoughtful examination of our relationship to reality and our surroundings.”

    In the digital age we take photos. Sometimes I am inspired by interesting or beautiful content I see in day - to - day life. I had the idea to incorporate some of these photos into modified prints and incorporated paint. “ Party’s Over ” is the first piece in this process. This cartoon king head was lying in a parking lot in 2021. Beheaded from a Mardi Gras King Cake, I found it perfect timing to take the pic since we had just had a change in the White H ouse and January 6th was still fresh on everyone’s minds. This piece is an original work derived from my own imagination, all reproduction rights are retained by Brad Fuller...
