Perils of Being a Cyanotype Artist in the Pacific Northwest

The video is just a little snippet of some musings and experiments in the outdoor space where I sometime work in the summer.  Today, there is a brisk wind blowing, very cloudy skies and a temperature of 57 degrees F.  Not really ideal for cyanotype printing, but I will find a way to get my prints made today!

My collaboration with Diana Shay Diehl continues.  We are on day 3 of our current presentation of a work each day, presented side by side on our Instagram accounts.

I make a print almost day anyway, but making them in collaboration with another artist brings the discipline to a whole new level.  I highly recommend it.  There has been a synchronicity about our work so far this week, not planned or discussed in advance, which materials or paper we will use.
