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.

The work comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.

Johanna Ryan

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.
