In this workshop, we will create duotone cyanotypes through layering yellow and blue layers of a single image. Participants will learn the basics of the cyanotype process and then work with digital negatives to expose, bleach and re-expose cyanotype coated paper. Experimenting with different paper types and exposure times, we will learn the nuances of this new approach to a classic process. Participants will leave with 1-2 fully realized yellow/blue cyanotypes.
Participants must email the instructor a colour image (preferably with blue and yellow tones present) in advance of the workshop. Please save the image as a jpg, sRGB, at least 5x7 inches at 300 dpi. Email to ella@ellamorton.com. A supplementary fee of $10 is required for printing digital negatives.
Ella Morton (she/her) is a Canadian visual artist and filmmaker living in Tkarón:to/Toronto, on the land of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenoshaunee and the Wendat peoples. Her expedition-based practice has brought her to residencies and projects across Canada, Scandinavia, Greenland and Antarctica. Working primarily with lens-based media, she uses experimental analogue processes to capture the sublime and fragile qualities of remote landscapes. Reflecting on how the medium of photography is changing in the digital age, she aims to uncover how photographs can show more than a straightforward depiction of reality, and how the alchemy of analogue techniques can be reinvented in the present day to tell deeper stories within images.
