Golden Hour – original Australian botanical art

Eucalyptus is the most iconic Australian plant genera. The scent of their crushed leaves on your fingertips stirs fond memories of home and holidays camping by the river.

This is an original handmade cyanotype sun print that additionally incorporates the experimental wet cyanotype process. The wet cyanotype process is random and experimental in nature. These artworks incorporate other, sometimes ?wet? ingredients into the exposure. They are typically completely unique and very difficult to replicate making them truly one-of-a-kind originals.

If you would like to own an original artwork that was made with and by nature using the gifts of the sun and earth, then look no further than this collection of original works of 2022. You will not regret the investment in an original art piece that, with care, will last for centuries. Indeed, the earliest cyanotypes are just as vivid today as the day they were made, such is the archival nature of cyanotype.

The emulsion has been painted on cotton paper and the specimen was collected from my conservation property and pressed by me. All care is taken to only collect the minimum amount of plant material necessary. Specimens are then reused again and again so as to cause as little to no harm as possible to the wild plants. Each piece is handmade, and an original exclusively one-of-a-kind piece.

Materials: This original artwork is made using premium heavyweight cotton paper

Size: The artwork is mounted on white, acid-free board to 11 x 14-inches ready to frame.

Each artwork is carefully packaged, protected and firmly transported in a box to minimize any chance of damage while in transit. Clients are most welcome to collect from my home in Tarago, NSW if they prefer.
