The Countess of Counting
Inspiration + Technique
Inspired by computer programmer Ada Lovelace
Technique
Flyology (The Language Of Lovelace) was created by constructing a hand-cut collage using female photographic portraiture, photographs of an antique tin toy horse, photograms of insect wings and pictures of the moon and planets.After coating the vintage computer punch card with light-sensitive chemistry, it is left to dry in a dark room. The large scale negative is contact printed onto the punch card by exposing to daylight (UV rays). The card is processed by thoroughly washing in water to remove any unexposed solution, then hung to dry, developing to full density Prussian blue after 24 hours. Once dry, the card is window mounted.

Ada Lovelace
The timeless art of cyanotype printmaking
Cyanotypes, often referred to as 'blueprints', harness the power of sunlight to capture intricate designs and forms.
This age-old technique involves treating paper with a specific chemical concoction, placing objects or negatives atop, and then exposing it to sunlight.
The Countess of Counting is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation crafted on
a vintage computer punch card,
accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
