Mushrooms, CYANOTYPEs, Botanical Toning.

Pomegranate Toning of Cyanotype Mushroom

The dive into the roadside yesterday as I spotted large Parasol mushrooms on the side of the road led to this piece. My Hungarian friends would have gone nuts at these.

First a photograph, then a negative, then a Cyanotype, then a toned print on khadi paper under pomegranate toner for and hour.

Plenty of washing and running up and down the fire stairs at the attic. No water in my darkroom (Martin! You’re inhibiting art!) means innovative thinking and extra steps on the Apple Watch.

Kerala is under flood as we speak. This is a token to send our love. Dry out soon, Kerala, and we’re thinking of you.
