I went on a field trip alongside the River Tawe today, from Sainsburys in Swansea to Tescos in Pontardawe, about 15 kilometres. It was BOILING hot. My colleague Steph and I did some experimental cyanotype (blue prints) exposures on the way, working with plants at the side of the path, rubbish we picked up and even shadows on the tarmac. I’ll develop these in cold water tomorrow to see what we have. Fingers crossed.
ps we didn’t pick the plants, but gently bent them and they sprang back afterwards. We disposed of the rubbish responsibly.
I love the rubbish prints, looking forward to seeing your results.
There was surprisingly little rubbish, which is good for the environment but not so good creatively
Fascinating. Glad to hear that no plants were harmed in the making of the prints lol!!
hahaha I suffered though!!! 15k in that heat! I think I’ll move to Iceland 😀
