Registration is Required

Research, material history, and intentionality of color and medium choice are integral to Church’s artwork. This presentation will follow the use of cyanotype in her work, exploring how its history, process, and color enhance and inform the artwork’s message. In the process, we’ll also discover the qualities that make cyanotype particularly well suited for integration into artist’s books and beyond.
