The Heavenly Realm of Selene
Inspiration + Technique
Inspired by the Titan Lunar goddess Selene
Technique
The Heavenly Realm Of Selene was created by constructing a hand-cut collage using female photographic portraiture, photographs and glass plate negatives of the moon and clouds and illustrations of elements of flowing water and wind.After coating the handmade paper with light-sensitive chemistry, it is left to dry in a dark room. The large scale negatives are contact printed onto the paper by exposing to daylight (UV rays). The prints are then processed by thoroughly washing in water to remove any unexposed solution. They are hung to dry, developing to full density Prussian blue after 24 hours.
Once dried the artwork is hand finished with 24-carat gold leaf paper cut layers are collaged to create the multi dimensional sculptural artwork.

Selene
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.
The Heavenly Realm of Selene is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation crafted on
handmade paper,
accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
