Undersea World of Poppies, I

Made with bright orange Shirley Poppies/Papaver rhoeas whose sturdy flower stems held up paper thin petals attached to developing seed pods at a dark basal spot. After drying the delicate petals, their bright hue turned to a muted mauve, veins in tact. I created multiple exposure cyanotype photograms with the varied parts. The poppy can symbolize peace and death, but also regeneration.
Each monitor displays colors differently, so please note that the actual print may vary slightly from what you see on your screen.
The cyanotype is an alternative photographic process used by botanist Anna Atkins to make the first ever photo-based book.
