Original Cyanotype of the leaves of a fern. This series of cyanotypes by Jane Davies at Printwork Gallery document the ferns and plants found around rural Dorset.
Cyanotypes are a type of hand-made print and one of the earliest forms of photography, it is where the word 'blueprint' comes from. The cyanotype process uses a mixture of iron compounds, which when exposed to UV light and washed in water oxidise to create Prussian Blue images.

Artwork is reproduced to the highest standard of colour accuracy, printed on specialist museum grade fine art paper, Hahnemüle Photorag with a weight of 305 gsm.

About the artist:
Jane Davies is a multidisciplinary artist taking inspiration from the world around her - in particular the shapes and textures of the natural world. An early love of drawing and painting has led to learning and experimenting with all types of hand-pulled printmaking - with a particular focus and passion for silkscreen printmaking.
Jane started by creating silkscreen prints in a monochrome colour palette, mainly mixed media prints of abstract landscapes which she created whilst working out of the London Print Studio 2010-2020. A move to rural Dorset has coincided with a new found love of colour, and simple pop art prints of the natural world now feature alongside oil paintings of Dorset's Jurassic coastline which provides inspiration all year round.
