Photo Prints on Handmade Paper

Besides the discs I posted earlier, these are the pieces I created at Penland.  All are Van Dyke (brown) or cyanotype (blue).  All are on handmade paper, either of cotton, abaca or (very few) kozo.  You can see that I worked with very few images but really experimented with those few.  The first image was a print on top of a water mark that popped out in the wash bath--a very fortunate mistake that made the image better.  The next three are van dykes and cyanotypes of wet plate collodion images of my Venus Series.  A finger print.  A van dyke on abaca and cyanotype on cotton of an STI bacteria.  The leaves are the first cyanotypes I did ever.  I like the idea of not coating the paper entirely but creating a Victorian window.  The leaf cyanotype with the letterpress type on top of it is a collaboration with Jori Ketten http://thedesignoffice.org/jori/, check out her work!  The cyanotype of the pepper should be familiar to you--I wanted an alternate way of printing it.  Then I did many prints of my profile that I can't seem to stay away from: Van Dyke on abaca, Van Dyke on cotton with a shaped deckle (two separate sheets), shaped sheet of two colors of cotton, a watermarked sheet of my profile, Van Dyke on kozo.  The last three images are of handmade paper balloons I made with Van Dyke prints of viruses and my "Colony" piece.
