Threads

I'm preparing for an Artist's Talk on Saturday and so have been reviewing my work so far. It's a good time to pull out threads and see what I am going to concentrate on for the next while, deciding which images work as a collection on their own and which are right for printing as a cyanotype. My decisions are based on emerging themes and also on the clarity of the image. Something very subtle will be obscured slightly by the monochrome output available via the cyanotype process, perhaps ending up unreadable -the process works best with outlines and strong contrast.
I think that cyanotypes work really well with text and have been figuring out which text to lift from the collection of images I have already gathered. I might also generate new text based on themes of conservation, collection, preservation.

Some images are complete as photographs and others will be taken an extra step or two into print form.
