Cyanotypes - Multiple exposures & How to make these sun dial prints
I recently created a collection of work which went down a treat on Insta, so I thought I'd share how and why here ...
I have been using light sensitive chemicals, the Cyanotype process and dark room processes to explore the connection between ourselves and the magic of light.
These works are Photograms, also known as camera-less photographs, which stretch the traditional photograph to its limits by exposing the light sensitive surface directly to light.
Like I'm showing in the video, the way to get multiple exposures on one print, is to move your objects whilst still exposing. There are other ways you can create multiple exposures, but I'll cover that another time. This are the type of results you can get👇🏻
This specific set of works documents the sun's movement over a 30-60 minute period. These prints visualise repetition of time on a cosmic scale. The eternal loop of the rising and falling of the sun and moon, and in turn the passing of the seasons. The transition from day to night, light to dark, visible to invisible form the concepts of these works.
