About the Item

Mountain Rain is a unique handmade cyanotype on watercolor paper, presented as a diptych. With fluid bands of indigo and soft gradients of blue, the composition evokes the rhythm of rainfall across an abstracted desert landscape. Rooted in the Desert Modernism movement, the work reflects the movement’s architectural ethos—clean lines, organic curves, and a deep connection to the surrounding environment. Much like the modernist homes of Palm Springs, where geometry meets the vast desert sky, this piece bridges natural forms with minimalist design Details: + Title: Mountain Rain + Year: 2025 + Stamped and Certificate of Authenticity provided + Measurements : 100x140 cm (40 x 55.3 in.), each panel measures 100x70cm (40x28 in.) a standard frame size + All cyanotype prints are made on high-quality Italian watercolor paper * Frame is for illustrative purposes only, artwork is sent carefully rolled 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. We then expose it in direct sunlight for several minutes using a photo negative to get the best image quality. Finally, the print is washed and fixed with water to stop the reaction and prevent fading. What you get is an amazing, royal blue image, with absolutely no ink involved. And since each print is handmade, tones will give gorgeous, subtle variations. The beauty of cyanotypes is that each print is absolutely unique.
