"Say it back!" -8x10
A painter I know makes a ton of money painting fruit and I get it. I had these two pears and I spent the afternoon photographing them. They seem nice.
I think my work is about relationships. I’m always looking at things and seeing how they connect. That has always been an interesting topic but I’m just appreciating it now. Nice to have a little clarity after all these years. Maybe the fruit is a metaphor for people having a hard time giving and accepting love?
The Cyanotype process was discovered by Sir John Hershel in 1842 and used to duplicate drawings and notes as “blueprints”. This was used well into the 20th century for the same purpose. A cyanotype’s primary characteristic is its deep blue color.
A cyanotype is very archival. Images produced in the mid 1800’s have retained their original tones and densities. For such a humble process, cyanotypes really are “true blue”.
