Inspiration + Technique

Inspired by NASA astronaut Mae Carol Jemison

Mae Carol Jemison was an American engineer, physician and former NASA astronaut. She was the first black woman to travel into space, she orbited the earth for eight days in 1992 aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. A trailblazing astronaut, physician, and visionary, she shattered the stratosphere and societal barriers, to become the first African American woman in space. Her journey through the cosmos inspires not only the dreamers and scientists of today but also the champions of diversity and inclusion.

Before becoming an astronaut, Jemison earned her medical degree from Cornell University in 1981. She practiced medicine as a general practitioner and served in the Peace Corps as a medical officer before joining NASA. During her historic spaceflight, Jemison conducted experiments in materials science, life sciences, and human adaptation to weightlessness. This research contributed to our understanding of the effects of space travel on the human body.

Jemison is a passionate advocate for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, particularly for underserved communities. She founded The Earth We Share (TEWS), an international science camp, to promote STEM learning among young people. After her NASA career, Jemison founded a technology research company called the Jemison Group. The company focuses on innovative technology solutions, including projects related to healthcare and sustainable engineering.

Mae Jemison's career embodies the spirit of continuous learning and exploration. She is known for her insatiable curiosity and belief in the limitless potential of human achievement, both on and beyond our planet. Mae Carol Jemison's life and career are a testament to the power of determination, intellectual curiosity, and the belief that individuals can make significant contributions to science and society, regardless of their background or gender.

Technique

Hailing All Frequencies (Ode To Mae Jemison) was created by constructing a hand-cut collage using female photographic portraiture, photograms from antique glass slides of interstellar clouds, and hand-printed surface textures from chemigrams.

After coating the handmade paper with light-sensitive chemistry, it is left to dry in a dark room. The large scale negative is then contact printed onto the paper by exposing to daylight (UV rays).

The print is then processed by thoroughly washing in water to remove any unexposed solution. It can then be hung to dry, developing to full density Prussian blue after 24 hours. Once the image is fixed it is hand finished with 24-carat gold leaf.

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.

Each artwork is meticulously crafted on handmade paper, signed with a cetificate of authenticity.
