Original Artwork
Dimensions: Height 50 in x Width 84 in.
Medium: Cyanotype on tea dyed muslin
This cyanotype (blue-and-white prints made with photosensitive chemicals) was printed on a large piece of raw canvas, rough at the edges and not stretched into a rectangular shape. Johanna depicts nature not as a specific tree or landmark but an influence that surrounds us, as layered as the different shades of blue made possible by printing technique.
Works in Brooklyn, NY
What if we saw nature not as distinguishable things like trees, mountains, and soil, but as a cloud of influences that surround us? Harkening back to her memories growing up in nature and a personal interest in Ecofeminism, Johanna's method of printmaking is in itself a dialogue with nature. In cyanotypes, the intentional outlines of base drawings intermingle with spontaneous factors like the angle, brightness, and hue of sunlight - even the canvas it is printed on is candidly frayed at the edges. In her other prints also, watercolor-like effects make even the ground appear buoyant.
