Cyanotypes
Cyanotypes have invited me to draw with the sun. Initially serving as a departure from my Showerfriends, or at least a way to free them from their birthplace in the bathroom, I indulge in the fantastic textures and surprise turns cyanotype yields. Using hair, dirt, and a mixture of household items and materials, I continue my expressive portraiture practice with this non-fussy photographic process.
