Return to Venus

'Return to Venus' is a limited edition cyanotype & macro photography print collection created in Cape Town, South Africa.

‘Return to Venus’ is a macro photography collection that draws inspiration from nature as its subject, utilising cyanotype printing solutions alongside photography as its primary mediums. This collection celebrates the beauty of nature & honours the ageing process & the passage of time.

Botanical elements are carefully arranged on cyanotype-treated paper, exposed to sunlight to activate the development process & photographed using a macro lens.

Traditionally, cyanotype-treated paper is rinsed under running water after exposure, revealing a striking 'blueprint.' With this collection, however, I embraced a more experimental approach by photographing the prints at various stages of exposure & development.

This process captures the vibrant array of colors that emerge when the paper remains dry or when liquids are delicately applied to the exposed surface, creating a dynamic & ephemeral interplay of hues & textures.

Browse through the 'Return to Venus' collection to select an art piece to add an element of nature to your interiors & art photography print collection.

Each art piece is available as an archival print on fine art paper (unframed) & as an archival Diasec print (frameless & ready to hang).

These limited edition art photography prints are produced in small quantities & are limited to only 5 - 20 prints per art piece.

Each print is hand numbered & signed by me. Once the edition is sold out, no further prints will be produced.

Free shipping throughout South Africa applies on all online orders.
