Be Like The Grass

Spring had finally arrived. I collected the grass on a drizzly day while visiting my friend’s organic farm in May. The grass looked so fresh in the rain. While it might not boast the same beauty as the flowers during this season, it thrives and can survive the winter while flowers fade.

Starting with real botanicals that I have harvested, dried, and pressed throughout the seasons; the original cyanotype is hand-made using sunlight, photographic chemicals, and developed in a water bath.

About Cyanotype:
The cyanotype is a photographic process that produces a Prussian blue monochrome print. Developed in 1842, this technique utilizes a photosensitive solution that reacts to sunlight exposure. Plants act as UV shields, leaving their impressions on the paper. Each cyanotype print is unique, as variations in weather conditions or the distribution of the photosensitive solution can affect the shades of blue and imperfections, adding to the charm of this artisanal printing technique.
