TONED - Rosie Emerson

Toned Cyanotypes

Figures appear as if caught between worlds, luminous, half-remembered, surrounded by constellations of plants, threads, and handmade patterns. The layering of negatives, objects, and light weaves these images together, merging the human and the botanical, the earthly and the ethereal.

Each cyanotype has been hand-toned with natural materials, softening the vivid indigo into smoky greys and sepia hues through the quiet alchemy of tea or other natural materials.

Each piece carries its own story, its own weather, a meeting of time, touch, and chance.

The works hold traces of ritual and reverie; many are enshrined with 22 crt Renaissance gold, portraits that feel both ancient and newly born fleeting apparitions of the feminine spirit.
