About the work
A voyage through the imagination of stars and beyond. The paper is first painted with a photosensitive solution and left to dry in darkness. Once dried, the image is exposed in the sun. I love to watch what develops when I lay objects out on the sensitized photo paper in the sun. As I wash the image in water, a magical ghostly print of the object emerges. With its deep prussian blue and white highlights, the cyanotype is one of the earliest forms of photography. I love the way the photogram is both a photograph and also reminiscent of a painting.

about the artist
byraven erebus

I like to find the magical in ordinary everyday things. Much of my work is inspired by things no further than then end of the driveway, because I suffer from a chronic disability. It's my art that saves me. I have been making art of one form or another my whole life. I have worked in many mediums: photography, collage, bookarts, printmaking, painting, and fabric design.
