'Opawaho taonga'
Cyanotype Print by Carrie Dingwall
As part of my work related to my local Opawaho River, I have been looking at the Tuna that live in the area. The longfin eel can occasionally be spotted in the area and I really love the idea of these taonga/treasures being here.
These mysterious, beautiful and perhaps misunderstood creatures for me, represent the delicate life of the river. The doily pattern suggests the ripple reflection of the water and also a link to childhood memories which is a common theme in my current work.
printed on Lana Aquarelle paper and mounted onto coloured ply panel.
paper size - 56x76cm
One off original print ( no edition )

The cyanotype process uses a mixture of iron compounds, which when exposed to UV light and washed in water oxidize to create stunning Prussian Blue images.
