This is a one-of-a-kind cyanotype made from a multi-step photographic process. A solution of potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium citrate was mixed to create a photosensitive emulsion, which was applied by hand to watercolor paper and allowed to dry in darkness. The treated paper was exposed to ultraviolet light (sunlight) beneath an original negative. The print was then rinsed in water to reveal a positive, monochromatic, cyan-blue image. The image was then sliced, tinted, pressed, and scanned to create the piece you see here
