Circular framed, original, circular mixed media cyanotype. Hand-brush coated. Hand finished with 24ct gold leaf. Handprinted on handmade 100% recycled cotton rag paper.
This artwork was inspired by Athena, the ancient goddess of wisdom and victory. Represented symbolically here as an owl, owl's are associated with the moon, the night and the feminine.
Athena's Victory In Gold Study (Small Framed) was created by photographing a hand-cut collage of female photographic portraiture, hand illustrations of a barn owl and surface drawings of the moon. The digital negative was then contact printed onto hand shaped circular paper that had been hand-brushed with chemicals, before drying in a dark room. Once exposed to light, the piece was washed to develop a cyan blue colour, pressed dry and then hand finished with 24ct gold leaf details.
