About the Item

"Mapping the Walk, July 2015" by Judith Allen-Efstathiou is an exquisite photographic cyanotype print in deep blue and white of wildflowers abstracted printed on mulberry paper and mounted onto a thin copper plate. Highly intricate and lavishly depicted, this gorgeous photograph of flowers is the result of the artist's own drawing which she has photographed and translated into a cyanotype for this particular series. Though flat it reads as a rich pattern with much dimension and a lacy quality. Light is also critical to the process and it glows: Judith Allen-Efstathiou "Mapping the Walk" July, 2015 Cyanotype on Mulberry Paper Mounted onto Thin Copper 16 x 10 Inches Note: There is a wood support on the reverse for hanging so it appears to float on the wall with a 1/*16" edge (border) of copper. No glass. No glass. Also available is a companion to this work identical in size and presentation, as well as two larger horizontals from the same 'Mapping the Walk" series mounted on thin aluminum (16.5" x 43" each) and one much smaller also mounted on copper (14" x 9"). Also available are a series of related works which are larger and not mounted on metal plates. The cyanotype process - no camera necessary - was invented by Sir John Herschel in 1842 and is a photographic printing process that produces blue prints using chemically coated papers with objects laid on top that are exposed to ultraviolet light. Judith Allen-Efstathiou was born in the U.S., raised in New York, and studied visual arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University, Medford, MA. She was awarded a Fellowship by the Museum of Fine Arts for one year of international travel which led to a three decade stay in Athens, Greece, where she is now a naturalized Greek citizen. As of 2000 she has been spending 6 months in the U.S. and 6 months in Greece with much time on the island of Kea, documenting her extensive walks along a single footpath with drawings of wildflowers. This 'Mapping the Walk" series has received international attention and it is her hope this spotlight will help preserve not only the flowers but this lovely ancient path. In the U.S. Judith's work focuses on public art depicting the trees of the northern forest and her relief sculptures in acid-cut, vintage copper salvaged from the Maine State House dome hang permanently in the Maine State House.
