Artwork description:

I took underwater photos in a swimming pool whilst living in Lanzarote this year. They work really well as cyanotype prints due to the blue nature of the process. I also love pool stairs.

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
