Experimenting

I’ve been taking a ceramics class at my local park district, and after months of waiting, I finally got my bisque fired pieces back yesterday. So I made one of them into a cyanotype and another into a chromatogram. Cyanotype Ceramics When making cyanotypes on filter paper, I heavily dilute the chemicals. That’s because the… Read more: Ceramic Experiments

Last year, I worked out how to combine cyanotypes with soil chromatography. The deep browns and vibrant blues mix so well together, like the earth, and the water, and the sky. There is so much I want to develop with these combined processes. It’s my main goal for experimentation this year- finding different ways to… Read more: Cyanotype x Chromatogram Progress

For just over two years, I’ve worked to bring soil chromatography from a lesser known soil science test used to make small scale prints to a more expansive creative technique. For every experiment and art print I made, I made a corresponding print using standard soil chromatography protocols.  Each of these prints is a way… Read more: Pothi Books for Chromatograms

Silver nitrate allows you to bleach and tone cyanotypes in one step, with one chemical, and without needing to wash the print after applying the silver nitrate solution.

A few months ago, I started trying to make vegan deli meat. The goal was to make vegan, gluten free, soy free meat for sandwiches because I haven’t been able to find a substitute that accommodates all of my food allergies and intolerances.
