About the Item
Zigzag Ovals is a cyanotype monotype diptych that explores the interplay between fluid forms and structured repetition. Organic white shapes drift across rich blue tonal fields, creating a sense of movement and visual rhythm. The composition evokes natural phenomena—water currents, cloud patterns, or cellular structures—while maintaining a refined, abstract minimalism.
Rooted in the tradition of biomorphic abstraction and influenced by mid-century modern design, the piece also speaks to the aesthetics of contemporary printmaking. The cyanotype process lends a unique, light-sensitive texture, giving each shape a soft-edged, atmospheric quality that invites calm contemplation.
It's made by layering paper cutouts and different exposures using uv-light.

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.
