About the Item
Both painting and photograph, a painted print. This is a multistep combination of painting and a kind of alternative photographic process from the 1800s: cyanotype. The outline of the agapanthus flowers were first drawn in pencil, then painted —not with ink or paint, but with light-sensitive photo emulsion in a dark room.
Once dry, the artist carefully laid tiny wildflowers across the painted shape and exposed the painting to sunlight to create a pattern. Areas covered during exposure remain white while areas exposed turned blue.The intricate blue and white pattern seen in each leaf which resembles painted Delft pottery is really a sun print or cameraless photograph of tiny plants laid on top.
Unframed.
Signed on the back.
On 100% cotton watercolor paper with straight cut edges, not deckled edges.

Christine So is an American printmaker, photographer and painter living in the hills across the bay from her hometown, San Francisco. She is best known for her blue and white cyanotype photographs of forests shrouded in fog. The Foggy Woods series is ever-growing as the artist continually hikes these hills which are often foggy at dawn. She explores radically different ways to use this antique photographic medium with and without out a camera. At times her blue prints look like screen prints. At others like abstract watercolors. Besides printing photographs from negatives, botanicals using entire branches, altering the chemical recipe to obtain novel colors, and creating abstract cyanotypes of deliberate patterns, she also paints images using the light-sensitive solution and prints a pattern within them. These last works she calls “cyanotype paintings”. The multiple-day process depends on being able to see while painting in a dark room so as to not expose the light-sensitive painted silhouette before it’s time. She named her series of botanical paintings which have a fine blue and white pattern “Delft Garden” after the Dutch painted porcelain.
