The Countess of Counting
Tax and shipping included
Inspiration + Technique
Inspired by computer programmer Ada Lovelace
Technique
The Countess Of Counting (The Language Of Lovelace Study) was created by constructing a hand-cut collage using female photographic portraiture, photographs of an antique tin toy horse and photograms of insect wings.After coating the handmade paper with light-sensitive chemistry, it is left to dry in a dark room. The large scale negatives are then contact printed onto the paper by exposing to daylight (UV rays). The prints are processed by thoroughly washing in water to remove any unexposed solution, then be hung to dry, developing to full density Prussian blue after 24 hours.
Once the images are fixed, they are cut out and mounted to create the multi dimensional paper cut artwork and hand finished with 24-carat gold leaf.

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