Sold individually. Framed in white washed maplewood with UV plexi. An ardent botanist, beginning at the age of nine, Emily Dickinson collected 424 flowers from the Amherst region in Massachusetts, where she lived. She referred to her collection as "beautiful children of spring" and arranged them with great sensitivity to scale and visual cadence in a sixty-six page large leather bound album, known as her herbarium. Dale Goffigon has made digital negatives of this herbarium, which is housed at the Harvard Library. Using the digital negatives, she used the 19th century cyanotype process to produce these images in blues and whites. The process involves coating fine art paper with a light sensitive emulsion, placing the negative on the dried paper and exposing it to light in either a lightbox or outdoors. The colors emerge during the rinsing process and with the addition of hydrogen peroxide to the baths.
