About the Item

Marie Craig's "Everybody had a Bad Year" is an original montage of four hand-colored deep blue photographs of a tropical leaf. This piece was created using cyanotype, an early photographic process which uses sunlight to expose specially treated paper producing a striking indigo-toned image with high contrast and detail. The photograph was then hand-colored using neon pigments. The 20 x 16 x 1 inch composite photograph is is surrounded by a white matte and framed in a white wood frame; framed dimensions are 26.25 x 22.25 x 1 inches. The photo is signed on the back by the artist. Marie Craig is an award-winning Boston-based contemporary fine art photographer. Her work collectively glorifies objects that were once imbued with life but have since been abandoned. Craig is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.

Artwork shipped carefully rolled and packaged in a tube. WHAT IS A CYANOTYPE? The cyanotype (a.k.a. sun-print) process is one of the oldest in the history of photography, dating back to the 1840's. Cyanotypes were then made famous by Anna Atkins, considered the first female photographer. Inspired by nature, we feel the need to look back at a craft that is handmade, analogue, and using an all-natural light source: the sun. Our cyanotypes are made by coating high-quality Italian watercolor paper with a light-sensitive emulsion.
