Blueprints

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that creates stunning, rich blue images. Invented in the 19th century, it was originally used for scientific documentation (hello, blueprints!), but artists quickly saw its potential for creative expression.

Studying the principles of cyanotype, i couldn’t resist the urge to experiment on my own.  I mixed the chemicals, coated the paper, and let the sun work its magic. Each test revealed new surprises, turning mistakes into discoveries.

A reflection on how artisanal and experimental processes, like cyanotype, teach us to embrace imperfection and find beauty in creative accidents.
