Laura Blacklow, Former Faculty Native American Prayer, a Diptych from the portfolio, Backyard Botanicals

26h x 40w x 0d

DESCRIPTION: Mixed Media, Unframed, Cyanotype and water colors on archival paper

ARTIST STATEMENT: In conventional photography, we think of the camera as capturing time in parts of a second. However, minutes and hours might be needed for just one exposure of a hand-coated cyanotype in the sun. I began the work on the portfolio, Backyard Botanicals, more than a decade ago, and the prints have resulted in an unplanned archive corresponding to the past/past time.
