Cyanotype, an early photographic printing process discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1842, was first widely used by botanist Anna Atkins to create striking blueprints of plant specimens. Traditionally, this process involves treating paper with iron salts, placing objects or negatives on the surface, and briefly exposing it to UV light.

​

Wet cyanotypes push the boundaries of this historical method by introducing moisture, soap, vinegar, and other natural elements to the coated paper before exposure. The extended development time and unpredictable reactions create ethereal, textured compositions-each one a singular piece shaped by chemistry and chance.

My work is deeply rooted in my love for nature, using botanicals as both subject and collaborator. Each print captures a fleeting moment of their existence, offering a tangible connection to the natural world.
