Original copper leaf cyanotype. Hand finished with chemical and heat treated copper leaf. Handprinted on handmade 100% recycled cotton rag paper.
This artwork was inspired by the fairytale turned tragedy of Marie Antoinette, one of France's most notorious monarchs.
The Last Queen Of France was created by photographing a hand-cut collage of hand printed positive and negative image of female portraiture, photographs of miniature gourmet cakes and illustrations of the moon and a wig. The large scale digital negative was then contact printed onto hand made paper, brush coated with light sensitive chemicals, before drying in a dark room. Once exposed to daylight, the piece was washed to develop a cyan blue colour, pressed dry and then hand finished with chemical and heat treated Italian copper leaf.
