"Cyanotype Fern" - Original Blue Cyanotype Print of Ferns

2020

About the Item

"Cyanotype Fern" is an original photogram print of a tree fern by Northern Californian artist Ellie Honl. The artwork documents one central white frond and two light blue fronds that recede in the background. Cyanotypes are an antique photographic process that produces blue prints. For this print, the artist exposed the fern fronds directly onto watercolor paper that she coated with a light-sensitive photographic solution. The print is signed on the back by the artist and the paper has deckled edges all around. Ellie Honl received her BA in studio art from St. Olaf College and MFA in Printmaking with a minor in Intermedia from the University of Iowa where she graduated with honors. She has been a Visiting Assistant Professor at Indiana University, Arizona State University, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and has taught courses at Frogman's Print Workshop, Seattle Center for Book Arts, and the Kala Art Institute. Much of her artwork has investigated psychology and perception, utilizing varied printmaking techniques along with photographic and time-based media. Her images are constantly influenced by her love of geometry, nature, and color. Her artwork as been widely exhibited across the United States and is included in many national collections.
