Artwork description:

I took photos from a plane travelling from the Lanzarote to London. Couldn't resist making a cyanotype print of clouds seeing as it's the perfect combination of blue and white. Looking at clouds makes me feel happy, so Cloud 9 became the title!

The cyanotype process uses a mixture of iron compounds, which when exposed to UV light and washed in water oxidise to create Prussian Blue images.

Materials used:

Paper, ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide, water, photo negative
