Intermezzo

Not quite cyanotype...and not scheduled.

Yet the substance of this lightweight piece has been hiding in the studio for a while. Papillae is made of Mohair (quite a lot of air actually!) and Nylon thread.
35cm in diameter, 45cm high (the red bit), suspended overall about 150cm long.

The negatives for these prints are taken from a series of photographs: Drawings in the sky
