My name is Elizabeth Dow and I am in the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts. My focus is in photography and for this installation the prints I created were all from images I had made for previous classes and wanted to experiment with more.
Most of the images I tend to take are landscapes or “artificial landscapes” that I have built as dioramas and then photograph. I thought that many of them would lend themself quite well to the cyanotype process and ended up printing thirteen different negatives to play around with.
Editing images into negatives to work for cyanotype involved a steep learning curve for me and required quite a few tests of each image to figure out the best negative and exposure time to use.
Once I got my prints looking the way I wanted in the conventional cyan I wanted to work more with toning to see if I could find the correct mood for some of my specific images.

Working with negatives gets a very different result than the herbarium contact prints did, but has given me ideas to combine using negatives with contact pieces to see what results I can achieve.
This whole process has been a great experience and has made me want to explore more.
