Cyanotype photography is characterized by its monochromatic effect, which invites the eye to rest and wander into imaginary worlds. The absence of colour allows the viewer to focus on the essence of the photograph, allowing for a deeper connection to the subject matter. The deep Prussian blue that forms the basis of this timeless technique adds a touch of magic and mystery to the subjects it portrays.

The Bohemian in Blue Collection is a new venture using Cyanotype on paper, textiles, and glass.

Scarf Sung Blue

In summer 2018, artist and designer Patricia Vega started using plants from her garden in Mansfield as the star of her Bohemian in Blue silk scarf collection. She applies the botanical materials to silk scarves coated with a cyanotype emulsion and exposes them to sunlight, resulting in rich Prussian blue patterns that reflect the tranquility of her surroundings.

From Patricia Vega’s ‘Bohemian in Blue’ scarf collection.

“There’s something magical about this monochromatic effect that makes your eye wander, and find beauty and peace through the powerful colour,” she says.
