reclaimed remnants.

First developed in the 1840s, cyanotypes are printed by the reaction of UV light on a surface covered in Potassium ferricyanide and Ferric ammonium citrate. This mixture of iron compounds oxidizes (to a vibrant blue) when exposed to UV light.

There is deep interest in minimizing waste from the creation process. This body of work emerged as a response to circular design research and a shifting perspective on how to work with less. By integrating a love of design, visual juxtaposition and emotive imagery, these fragments of imperfect cyanotypes were realized into abstract and editorial-inspired artworks incorporating both original and found imagery. The result of these physical cyanotype collage works is one of tactile sustainability and a practice of persistent reconsidering.
