Cyanotype on fabric (archival print)

Part of Dreams of Melting Ice series

Print of a 5’x7’ cyanotype I created with my body on my birthday, lying naked on the wet ground in my backyard while my friend read to me from Thich Nhat Hanh’s No Death, No Fear. The resulting image is essentially a photogram taken from behind, most notably showing the places my body made contact with recent snowmelt still present in the soil. I adjusted my posture a few times, rendering the effects of the sun less visible than those of water.
