This image is a cyanotype which is a form of alternative photography. The Johnston grass was collected while on a walk along the American River and was placed on the sensitized paper with various sprays & salt used to create texture and tones. Then the paper was placed in the sun. After exposure the print was rinsed, dried and cured. Inks & watercolor were used to complete the image. The print is mounted on a 6" x 12" x 1 1/2" white cradle board and given a protective coat. It may be hung on a wall or placed on a table or shelf.
