"The Ancients are a series of fantastical masked elements, created through a process involving cyanotype
printing and the Japanese art of kirigami (intricate hand-cut paper). The original "mask" in the series was
made from a hand-cut sketch and sun printed onto the painting. Cyanotype printing is one of the oldest
photographic techniques, and with this series, I have explored the technique in a painterly way to create
unique compositions.
The Ancients, no. 3 is a cyanotype on BFK Rives paper, with botanical ink (handmade using copper and foraged
plants and minerals from the Pacific Northwest). The use of handmade ink has been important to me as an
artist to both use less toxic art mediums in my work for my overall health, and as an exploration of
placemaking through materials in my ink work."
