These prints were made by hand coating cyanotype sensitiser that was mixed from scratched by the artist. As a result, although this is a limited edition series of prints, each print is in itself unique due to nature of the process itself.

Some more on the process:

“Cyanotype is an old monochrome photographic printing process which gives a cyan-blue print.
The English scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel discovered this procedure in 1842. Though Herschel is perhaps the inventor of the cyanotype process, it was Anna Atkins, a British scientist, who brought the process into the realm of photography. She created a limited series of cyanotype books that documented ferns and other plant life. By using this process, Anna Atkins is regarded as the first woman photographer.”
