Star Gazing

This animated cyanotype features a blooming Dill flower under the gentle light of stars. I created the analog cyanotype on fabric using Dill herb from my garden. I extended the experience of my art by using subtle animations to evoke the magical feeling that arises at dusk in early summer when the light is soft, the fireflies are out, and the stars are making their evening appearance.

Cyanotypes use a solar photography process to produce ethereal images in indigo and white.
