Night Laurel Diptych: Two 40x26" cyanotypes/ 40x52" total

Unframed.

Images of the prints framed are just to give a sense of how much wall they would cover once framed with a gap between them. The width of each 26" wide print would increase to at least 30 inches once framed, so the span is over 60 inches (5 feet or 180cm) when including a gap between the two panels.

Unlike "Bay Laurel Diptych", the other diptych of the same size of the same species of tree, this pair of monotypes uses two different tree branches and is not a perfectly symmetrical pair of mirror images. It's more natural, the way things look while walking under a canopy of trees in the woods.

Every botanical cyanotype I make is unique made using fresh cut plants and trees laid in that exact composition on the hand-coated light-sensitive paper only once then exposed to sunlight. These are branches of a native California Bay Laurel tree which grows all over the hills east of San Francisco.

On heavy 100% cotton Arches watercolor paper.
Deckled edges which look nice if float framed without a mat.

Hand-Printed Botanical, Landscape and Abstract Cyanotypes

Christine So is a native San Franciscan painter, photographer and printmaker living across the bay in the hills of Oakland, California. Her paintings and cyanotypes have been commissioned by Mayo Clinic, Ritz Carlton, Kimpton Hotels, Starbucks, MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, UTMB Hospital in Galveston and purchased by private collectors in 15 countries, among them, Timothée Chalamet.

Her calm, monochromatic, nature-inspired works on paper are not printed with ink but are actually a form of photography from the 1800s. She works in the antique photographic process of cyanotypes, creating abstract and botanical monotypes in shades of blue as well as landscape photographs of the foggy woods where she lives. The plants used in her one-off prints are cut from her own garden or found in the woods nearby and printed on pure cotton watercolor paper. No two are alike. Only her landscape photographs developed using giant negatives and the same cyanotype chemicals are replicable, yet even those hand-printed photographs each differ slightly.

Most of the works listed here on Wescover.com are unframed works on paper, specifically cyanotypes. However, Christine So paints in acrylic on canvas and oil on panel as well, and there are about 15 paintings on canvas and panel listed. Most are not framed, but a rare few are. Please read the entire description.

NOTE: Most of the works on paper are sold unframed --although the display photos may depict them as framed on a virtual wall to give a sense of their eventual size once a mat and frame are added. Take note of the item's description before purchasing.
