Cyanotypes: More Than a Blueprint
August 26, 2024 at 5pm ET

Please join us on Monday, August 26th at 5 pm for the talk “Cyanotypes:more than a blueprint” by Edie Bresler. Edie will discuss why she began working with handmade photographic processes and how light, chemistry, time and chance have enlivened her ideas about photography. After introducing the basic Cyanotype process, Bresler will demonstrate a few methods for expanding the traditional reverse silhouette effect to foster and suggest deeper connections about time, representation and abstraction.

The event is free but you must register. You will be emailed the Zoom link before the event.
