My interest with cyanotypes and experiments started during the national lockdown in early 2020.

Many art teachers through social media were starting to play. Why not join in?

Feeling like there’s a little bit more control including adding in soap bubbles.
Really liking the results now. Including multiple exposure times by moving objects part way through the process.
Realising the sun wouldn’t last I decided to build a UV lightbox to continue the investigation.
