Supersonic Echoes
Inspiration + Technique
Inspired by mathematician & aeronautical engineer Christine Darden
Technique
Supersonic Echoes (Ode to Christine Darden) was created by constructing a hand-cut collage using female photographic portraiture, illustrations of the lunar cycles, photographs of NASA rocket ships and a necklace and halo made of gold, NASA emblems and variations of sonic boom diagrams.After coating the vintage mathematical flash 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 before framing.

Christine Darden
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.
Supersonic Echoes is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation crafted on
handmade paper,
accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
