These large cyanotype prints are now installed in the Meta (Facebook) building in Sunnyvale San Francisco as part of the Artist-in-Residence program.

Holding explores nature and a feeling of stillness, capturing the beauty of wild flowers through this print process to elicit an emotional connection and allow the viewer time and space to reflect. The name refers to this moment of stillness and holding nature in reverence. Each piece of fabric lifts the wildflowers from the ground and into view. The deep blues created in the fabric prints result from an old photographic printing process called Cyanotype. The process uses two chemicals that mix together become photo-sensitive and produce a cyan-blue print when exposed to UV light. The fabric is first soaked in the chemicals, let them dry and then the designs are exposed for a tested duration to achieve these rich blue tints.
