Archival Fine Art Photography Prints
As I paint, I’ve been experimenting more with light-sensitive media. Rather than using cyanotype for traditional photographic purposes—which I did for many years, I now treat the solutions as a painting medium, layering them with natural pigments I collect locally, along with citric acids, salts, and other reactive materials. These elements are activated by sunlight, interacting with one another and the environment in unpredictable ways. The chemistry remains alive unless I choose to “fix” it, which I’m resisting for now. Over time, the colors shift, the textures deepen, and new forms begin to emerge. The compositions begin and end with openness rather than control, curiosity rather than a fixed idea, a collaboration rooted in trust, reciprocity, exposure, environmental influence, and continuous change. Watching this strange, living brew come alive on paper takes my breath away.
Because these works remain chemically active, they continue to shift over time, responding to light, air, and the conditions they encounter. As part of the larger process, I document these transitions through photography, capturing close-ups and evolving details to create a series of still images that reflect a living, changing body of work. These archival prints don’t attempt to freeze the pieces in time, but instead offer glimpses—snapshots—of a process that is always in motion.
Unframed
Printed on 300 gsm Elegance Velvet, a softly textured, bright white paper made from 100% cotton rag. Crafted using the highest quality Giclée printing methods, this archival, acid-free paper holds rich detail and depth—offering a faithful and lasting moment in the morphology of the original artwork.
The listed size refers to the image area. Each print includes an additional 1" white border on all sides to protect the artwork during handling and to make matting and framing easier.
