Technique
Ode To Florence Nightingale was created by constructing a hand-cut collage using female photographic portraiture, a Turkish lantern, illustrated coxcomb charts, handwritten poem and painted light silhouettes.
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).
