CYANOTYPE



[2024]


Subcategories:thesis, non-latin script, analog

This is a set of cyanotype prints featuring graphics made with the typographic styling and formatting of found objects from my travels. This was a practice in a number of different things including curation, typesetting, and print development techniques. I started by collecting objects that I found typographically interesting before proceeding to examine them and curate a collection of suitable fonts for that type of object i.e. a reciept, post card, certain “type” of packaging, etc.
        I studied the different typographic hierarchies and how they functioned to convey different levels of information before typesetting a version of this object, creating a set of vector graphics that I then printed onto transparency before going through the process of cyanotype printing. For each graphic, I made a version with white on blue and one blue on white.
