These are examples of what I was testing at Penland for my UICB final project. The project has altered slightly (pictures will be coming!) but you can see that I stretch the wet-pressed sheets of abaca (shown above) across lamp rings and let it dry taut. It is then coated in gelatin, then cyanotype, then exposed to a digital negative and washed clean. The results are above. Helen Hiebert and Alyssa Solomon researched and discovered this method. It works better with cotton and Van Dyke, not cyanotype and abaca, but I was trying to achieve transparency and a petridish-like effect. The images on the discs are of a STI and the "Colony" installation I did in the winter.
