Inspiration
This artwork is a celebration of friendship, the solidarity of sisterhood and the joys of womankind.
Technique
Under The Light Of The Moon was created by constructing a hand-cut collage using female photographic portraiture and the surface textures from Lunar photographs.
After coating the bisque fired paper porcelain with light-sensitive chemistry, it is left to dry in a dark room. The large scale negative is then contact printed onto the porcelain disk by exposing to daylight (UV rays). The print is then processed by thoroughly washing in water to remove any unexposed solution and left to soak for 3-4 weeks. It can then be dried, developing to full density Prussian blue after 24 hours.
Dimensions
Unframed: 150mm diameter
Framed: 210mm diameter x 30mm frame depth x 13mm frame face
Paper
Hand-shaped, bisque fired, paper porcelain disk:

Mount
We use float mounting for all of our framed cyanotypes. The artwork floats above a snow-white mount board, showcasing the paper texture and deckled edging.
Framing
Framed artwork will arrive ready to hang.
Each frame is handmade by our London based design team. They prime and sand the wooden frame before spraying black or white soft-sheen paint to achieve the highest quality finish. All frames come with gallery spec, 3mm thick anti-reflective/ UV glazing as standard.
If you would like a bespoke frame, please get in touch to discuss alternative colours, gilding and glazing options.
