I don’t always work from drawings although 90% of my work, or more, is based on sketches. Sometimes I have a bit of a play with photographic imagery and translate it into various forms of printmaking, this is cyanotype. Cyan is the colour blue and also the first four letters of cyanide and it’s this combined with ferric compounds that form the chemical basis for this, one of the earliest forms of photography. I took the photo of Husb at night in a rooftop restaurant in Lahore, Pakistan some years ago and gave him the cyanotype treatment.
