Coastal Experiments: Exploring Seaweed and Algae Through Cyanotype

Cyanotype Journey in Nova Scotia

TRAVEL

Coastal Experiments

During my travels through the Maritimes, I became fascinated by the shapes, textures, and delicate structures of seaweed and algae along the coast. Their organic forms and unexpected patterns inspired me to experiment with cyanotype, translating these fleeting encounters with the ocean into blue impressions on paper.

These coastal experiments became a way of slowing down, observing, and discovering new possibilities within the cyanotype process. Each piece captures something of the movement, texture, and quiet beauty I found along the shore. 💙
