Description
Single Fern Cyanotype Print
A simple composition so the shape and fine interior structures of the fern remain the focus. Subtle shifts in tone record how the plant, paper, and sunlight met that day.
The fern’s natural imperfections are preserved here, too. They show the wear, and the beauty, of living.
Prints contain a reproduction of my initials in a lower corner.
Print Process & Materials
Each reproduction print is made using giclée (pronounced zhee-klay) printing, a fine art printing process that uses archival pigment inks to capture the color and delicate details of the original cyanotype.
Printed on heavyweight, 230 gsm archival fine art paper that is acid-free and lignin-free for long-term stability.

Gather and press
I gather plants and carefully dry them to preserve their forms.
Arrange and expose
After I compose each artwork, I expose it to sunlight to start the cyanotype process.
Rinse and reveal
I wash off the cyanotype mixture to reveal the impression the plant left behind.
Scan and print
Each original is professionally scanned to capture the color and details and then printed on archival fine art paper.
