From the sea #3

Dreaming of the ocean

Another collection that’s represented in the Spectrum Gestalt show at bG Gallery in the Bergamot Station Arts Center in Santa Monica is my From the sea set of cyanotypes. 

The show features two works created by the alternative photo process technique – From the sea #3 and From the sea #5.

A swirl of seaweed that captured my attention in Bandon, Oregon is the basis for the digital negative behind this collection. From there, I used my brushstrokes to mirror or complement the shapes in the original, creating something slightly-different in each one-off cyanotype.

Stop by to see the show in person through August 3, and visit the collection here on my site to see how many different variations can emanate from one point of inspiration.
