Extraction

Artist book of 33 handbound bleached cyanotype prints showing the Horniman Museum and Gardens and plants in the Nature Walk. In a bespoke gilded box.

In Marie's words:
The series In Conversation with Anna Atkins, was made as an outcome from my residency at The Horniman Museum & Gardens (April to September 2023). My bleached cyanotypes have been bound as 30 cyanotypes plates, in response to Atkins and the popular cyanotype process that she is known for. The cyanotypes feature photos from the Horniman Nature Trail and gardens alongside plants and leaves found during my walks. I have bleached the cyanotypes (with sodium carbonate), and some of the cyanotypes features transcript of my words from my visit to Horniman.
