PADDY FIELD SERIES

CYANOTYPE PROCESS

5 X 8 INCHES

This artwork is about a scenic view of paddy field by using a Cyanotype Process. These photographic printing process also known as 'Sun Printing' invented in 1842 by Sir John Herschel. The mixture of Potassium Ferricyanide with Ferric Ammonium Citrate to create a photosensitive material and expose to sunlight. Then rinse it with a water (Hydrogen Oxide) to remove unexposed chemicals. The thrill of conducting this experiment when the image appears unexpectedly during the rinse process, something you can't feel with a digital print.
