Altered Images and Cyanotypes - Ellen Dooley

Land and Sea Cyanotype

8/10/2020

In the true tradition of Anna Atkins, the woman, who, in the the mid 1800s catalogued both marine life and botanical specimens, this piece includes garden hostas and seaweed foraged at a low tide in Puget Sound. It is a large piece 20"x 24", made on delicate Japanese gampi paper.

Here are some of my original cyanotypes on handmade Japanese gampi paper. Gampi paper is a thin, fragile, beautiful paper that requires extra care in the processing baths. The luster of the print on this paper is worth the extra effort.

I should have exposed it for longer but I am going to love using my old maps and charts in my cyanotype work
