Description

This original art piece is handmade by me, Dr. Jessica Hodgson, an ecologist, using the vintage cyanotype process. 

For me, Ferns instill a feeling of peace and memories of walking through cool and quiet rainforests on adventures throughout eastern Australia. Austral Bracken Fern (Pteridium sp.) is a cornerstone species of Australian forests. It’s a rapidly colonising understorey species that provides important habitat and is even foraged on by Koalas on occassion. 

I have made this original work using pressed fern fronds from my property in rural NSW and the sun. The cyanotype process encapsulates the detail in the fronds producing an ever-reliable and magically stunning silhouette. 

These artworks look incredible grouped together into an eclectic gallery wall.

What is a cyanotype? 

Cyanotype is the name of the process of the original photography technique. However, unlike photography as we know it today, this process is completely cameraless and images are exposed in the sun, rather than a darkroom. It is a delighful transformation and a very unique art form. I encourage you to follow my socials and newsletter to learn more!

Materials: This original artwork is made using finely woven cotton fabric

Size: The artwork is cut by hand to 8 x 10 inch / 20 x 25cm and then mounted onto gallery-quality, acid-free mounting board ready to frame in an 11 x 14 inch frame

I strive for 100% client satisfaction and each piece can be made to order, therefore if you have particular preferences, i.e. you would like a very deep blue, please get in touch to ask if it can be achieved. I am happy to accommodate as much as possible.
