Item details

Part of a unique collection of Cyanotype Photograms, showcasing Seaweed I collected from the coast of Jersey in the Channel Islands. Using the Wet Cyanotype technique, archival photo printing paper or canvas, the finished photograms have almost three-dimensional qualities and show the intricacies of the seaweeds’ tender fronds and air bladders as if they are alive and freely floating.

For further information on the Cyanotype and Wet Cyanotype techniques see ‘About' in my shop. The MOUNTED PHOTOS show the final Photogram.

A wash with moody blues and greys, this was made on 260gsm Archival Polyester Matt Canvas giving it a textured look.

Named ‘Sea Vegetables' numbered and signed on the reverse, it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity as an Original Artwork 1/1.

Hinge mounted to a backboard and White mount both acid free and in a fully recyclable protective bag.

Mounted Size 11” x 14” (27.94 x 35.56cm) ready for you to place into a standard 11” x14” frame of your choice.
Aperture size is 8” x 10” (20.32 x 25.4cm)

The photogram will be posted out in an all board envelope which is reusable and recyclable. I purchase packaging made from recycled products whenever I can.

Colour and contrast may vary slightly from the image on screen due to monitor/screen settings. The frames shown in the photos are for illustrative purposes only. See more original Photograms in my 'Jersey Coastal Collection’

Welcome to Hazleton Art- Botanical Cyanotype Photograms, handmade in Hampshire.

Cyanotype is a camera-less photographic technique, that produces a distinct ‘Prussian Blue’ colour print (Photogram) The process was discovered in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, as a means for reproducing drawings and diagrams (Blueprints). Botanist Anna Atkins in the late 19th century was the first to document seaweed and plants using this technique.

The south-eastern coast of Jersey sees dramatic changes every low tide, with miles of sand, gullies, reefs and rock pools becoming exposed twice a day, bringing a wealth of rarely seen marine life into view, and the receding tide leaves seaweed cast along the shoreline and draped over the rocks. It was truly a thrill to forage for the wonderful weed used in my artwork. (All restrictions for collecting seaweed faithfully followed) Some of the seaweed I used: Egg Wrack, Bladder Wrack, Carrageen, Sea Lettuce, Serrated Wrack, Sea Spaghetti and Cocks Comb.
