Cosmos in Bloom

Cosmos in Bloom

The cosmos flower, with its delicate petals and star-like form, symbolizes harmony and resilience. In this cyanotype, the flower’s graceful silhouette is preserved in rich shades of blue, capturing its fleeting beauty through the power of sunlight. The cosmos, whose name means "order" and "universe," reminds us of nature’s quiet balance — a gentle bloom that thrives in the wild, radiating joy and serenity.

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.
