The Process

Made with
light, iron,
and time.

Every print begins with a hand-coated sensitiser and ends with an outcome no one can fully predict. That unpredictability is the point.

01
Coat the paper
Ferric ammonium citrate & potassium ferricyanide, brushed in subdued light onto watercolour paper.
02
Dry in darkness
The sensitised sheet rests flat until fully dry — the humidity of the day affects the final tone.
03
Expose to sunlight or UV light source
A negative or object is placed in contact and held under direct UV light for 5–20 minutes.
04
Wash & develop
Water rinses away unexposed chemistry. Prussian blue oxidises and deepens over 24 hours.
Fabriano 300gsm 15 min exposure UV index 7
