Bundle dyed watercolor paper, anthotypes

Paper bundled in flowers, boiled in rust water, unbounded and dipped in a light sensitive emulsion made from beets, blackberries or snapdragons, that is then exposed to the sun with a transparency image to create an anthotype photograph. The alchemy of the processes allows for the dreamlike images to appear as if they emerge from out of the colors that blend together and will eventually fade away.
