Anna Atkins.

Anna Atkins was a British scientist who produced cyanotypes for botanical books which was a first for scientific publishing and photography. Her work is something I have always wanted try and hope too. I love the simplicity of the colours produced the white against the harsh blue. As the object changes the print produced does too as some become more translucent and others more opaque. To test which objects show up best when exposed and such I decided to try exposing some to go on a screen allowing me to create some silk screen prints.
