About

Anthotype print is a photographic process that uses plant-based materials to create images. It involves coating paper with natural pigments derived from flowers, fruits, or leaves and then exposing it to sunlight. This method, developed in the 19th century, is known for its eco-friendly approach and unique, ephemeral results.

Observations

Across all four panels, botanical forms are rendered as expressive, hand-worked impressions with visible washes, rough edges, and paper grain rather than clean photographic detail. The style relies on restricted, high-contrast palettes⁠—sepia, red, and cyan-blue⁠—placing pale flowers and stems against broad areas of saturated or lightly textured ground.
