Managed to get a new cyanotype made this week - the innards of a cooling tower. Some interesting writing painted inside, including ‘check out for men below’ and ‘Bobby The Lawnmower’ the relevance of the latter - I have no idea about. . . . #cyanotype #altprocess #coolingtower #yorkshire #prussianblue

With just over a month before the Saltaire Arts Trail, I’ve found out where I’ll be displaying my cyanotypes. A clue being from this detail from one that I’ve made for the weekend - a photo montage of all the street names from within the unesco heritage site - and am truly hoping I got them all :) Will be sharing a space with some amazing other artists (there must be a collective noun?) - all the details are on the @saltaireinspired web site. . . . . #cyanotype #saltaire #altprocess #bradford #streetsigns

Here’s a fresh print that I’ll be showing at the Saltaire Arts Trail. I know this end terrace has been photographed a tonne of times but wanted to see it for myself - so cycled out to south Bradford to get one. Sadly, the Empire cinema that it’s advertising is long gone. I’ll have to research what’s there now - who knows it could be interesting! . ‘Twice Nightly’ - Cyanotype on watercolour paper. . . . #cyanotype #bradford #altprocess #ghostsign #saltaireinspired @saltaireinspired

Around this time last week, I was getting prints in their frames for the Saltaire Arts Trail. With it being my first outing, I truly did not know what to expect - at all - whatsoever. A week later, I’m making some prints to order and getting another that couldn’t be picked up, ready to post. Insert any clichĂ© as to how I’ve been feeling! I’ve learnt loads from the trail and am feeling so humbled by the experience and the reaction and warmth of people who saw or bought my cyanotypes. Sharing a space with my host artist @al_lotment and @abstractcrowds and @nerissact made the weekend, and thanks @saltaireinspired for running such a wonderful event so smoothly. Oh, if you’ve got this far and are wondering what the photo is— it’s my first water bath for developing prints, stained pale blue from some of the cyanotype that washes out. Peace and Love x . . . #cyanotype #altprocess #saltaire #bradford #artstrail

Have made a some ‘Make your own cyanotype’ kits to hand out at the Saltaire Arts Trail. There’s enough for a few to be given out each day. They contain some sheets of paper that have been pre-treated with cyanotype formula; simple instructions and a little pane of acetate to make sandwiching your subject easy as :) Come find me at Stop 18 on George Street if you want one (they’re mainly for kids but if you’re a big kid you might be lucky enough to get one). All details of everything that’s going on at the trail and makers fair this May Bank Holiday at @saltaireinspired . . . . #saltaireinspired #cyanotype #saltaire #bradford #artstrail

Just over a couple weeks to go!! Am so chuffed to be showing my cyanotypes at this year’s Saltaire Arts Trail. It’s my 1st time doing something like this, and I can’t believe I’ll be displaying them in a UNESCO world heritage site to boot! I’ll be sharing a space with some talented folk - including my host @al_lotment as well as @abstractcrowds and @nerissact - map and all details about it over at @saltaireinspired The above print is one from the site of Drummond Mill near the centre of Bradford, slowly being reclaimed by nature. . . . #cyanotype #saltaireinspired #saltaire #bradford #prussianblue

Detail from ‘Orangery’ a cyanotype print that I’ll be showing at the Saltaire Arts Trail over the 1st May bank holiday weekend. Those who are local to Saltaire will know where this was taken :) See @saltaireinspired for more details about the trail and the makers fair too. . . . #saltaireinspired #cyanotype #altprocess #bradford #prussianblue

Self Portrait 
Not sure how the words in the image contribute to any narrative though, but I didn’t want to clone them out . . . #selfportrait #acros #x100f #reflection #mirror

One of my favourite parts of the process
 coating freshly mixed cyanotype formula onto watercolour paper. Five sheets prepped - left to dry over night. Things become even more zen if you listen to Bill Evans at the same time. . . . . #cyanotype #altprocess #zen #prussianblue #cyanotypeprocess

Places that no longer exist part 5 - Stairwell at the front of Leeds railway station. The sentiment of this graffiti feels even more pertinent. I still wonder who wrote it and whether the blue ink over the red was done by the same person or another. Anyway - Peace and love. . . . #graffiti #peace #love #war
