Botanical X-Ray Iris Flower

£25.50

Flag Iris, Iris x germanica

In the Victorian language of flowers Iris stands for hope, wisdom, trust and valour. The Greek goddess Iris was said to travel to earth on rainbows. She enabled humans to communicate directly with the heavens by bringing messages between the two worlds.

A beautiful print from my ongoing series of Botanical X-Rays. All the prints in this series are based on original Cyanotypes.

I wanted to create a collection that would let you see deeper into the inner workings of plants. The technique and images I have developed are a mix of art and anatomy. They give you a view of the structures/skeletons of the plants that are not normally seen with the naked eye.

PRINT CARE

Please keep your print out of direct sunlight. If, over time, your print has faded, remove it to a dark place and within two weeks, as if by magic it will be restored to the original Prussian blue colour. All cyanotypes are made on archival paper and should last many years.
