Cyanotypes

Cyanotype wall hanging: You've Got To Pick Up Every Stitch, 2026. Made in the sun in Dallas, Texas. Approx. 42 inches by 6 feet. Moonflower (also known as “witches weed”)stems, letters made with dried moonflowers, cyanotype, water color paper, Angora wool.

Cyanotype prints: The Library of Congress, Remixed, 2012. Made in the sun in Long Beach, California. Prints are 12 by 9 (or 9 by 12) inches. Digital negatives of collages combine images from the Library of Congress's public, digital archive circa 2012.
These collages juxtapose keywords within common English idioms. I wondered how these idioms, which are often hard to translate, might be reinterpreted through public imagery found in our commons, by way of photographs in the Library of Congress digital archive. The collages are printed as cyanotypes, one of earliest photographic printing processes, which produce a cyan-blue print when exposed to UV light (such as the sun). This series combines digital collage with a historical photographic process to explore the relationship between language and image, digital and analog methods, and the ways in which meaning is constructed and/or made ambiguous.
