Four mini 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) separate works of art which can be displayed all in a line horizontally or vertically in a small space in a kitchen or bathroom, diagonally going up a staircase, or as a grid (as they are shown in the main image here). The encaustic process involves applying hot melted beeswax mixed with resin to an image, which then hardens to a glasslike surface. I used my hand-printed cyanotypes mounted on panels as the underlying images and collages. Cyanotypes are a form of 19th century alternative photography whose images are always shades of dark blue. Every one of my botanical cyanotypes is a unique monotype, a lensless photograph made by hand using plants from my own garden. No two are alike. The sides are painted gold and there is a sawtooth hanger on the back of each, making them ready to go straight on the wall. NOTE: These four small 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) encaustic collages on wood panel are also listed separately. If you want more than one of them I recommend that you buy the set all together. The way the Saatchi Art automated platform works. the artist is required to wrap each art piece sold separately in a separate box with a separate shipping label even if four of them are going to the same buyer’s house. It saves a considerable number of hours if works are packaged together in one box going to the same place —and it saves the buyer money to buy a set rather than individual pieces as you may have noticed. Separately these are priced at $200 each, while together they are priced at $660 for all four as it saves the artist an entire day of packing.

The distant blue hills of my “Faraway Hills” series are ever-present fixtures in my real life. Down below is the bay and above is an endless web of tree branches. Their silhouettes have etched themselves into my memory. My paintings and prints are always nature-inspired and nearly always monochromatic. Having spent a decade as a printmaker making woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, aquatints and monotypes, my mind works in monochrome. I focus on a single color, composition, positive and negative space, pattern, lines and shape. I currently work in two mediums, acrylic painting and cyanotypes, a form of camera-less photography. Cyanotypes are a 19th century form of lensless photography also known as photograms, blueprints and sun prints. They resemble block prints or etchings but use no ink nor printing press. Light “etches” the image on paper I had painted with light-sensitive chemicals. MY NEWEST SERIES OF ABSTRACT CYANOTYPES: My technique is a form of experimental photography, much like the action painters Morris Louis, who poured his veil paintings, or Jackson Pollock who dripped and drizzled his. My abstract cyanotypes are luminous like watercolor paintings but are actually photographs. Each is a multiple-exposure lensless photograph make through deliberate movements of the light-sensitive paper during exposure to light. Different sections of the paper were exposed to light for a longer or shorter time, yielding multiple shades of blue. Each abstract cyanotype is entirely unique. These same lines, shapes and shades of blue cannot be recreated as the exposure of the paper was heavily manipulated by me during each printing. A traditional single-exposure cyanotype yields a white silhouette against a dark blue background.
