Fronds & Fronds II

Double-Sided Cyanotype Artworks: “Fronds” & “Fronds II”
 
This unique pair of double-sided cyanotype pieces brings together the timeless elegance of botanical forms with the intrigue of layered texture and light. Each artwork captures palm leaves exposed to sunlight, creating beautiful white silhouettes against rich blue backgrounds.
 
Fronds
One side of Fronds carries a bold, expressive vibe with layered palms overlapping each other. Subtle textures peek through the deep blues, accented by muted gold tones and soft whites. This creates an energetic, almost funky feeling, where the movement of the leaves dances across the surface with hints of shimmering warmth. It’s a piece that invites closer inspection, revealing new layers with each glance.
 
Fronds II
The Fronds II piece has a more traditional cyanotype aesthetic, with a velvety deep indigo background. Delicate palm leaves stretch gracefully across the surface, their crisp white outlines creating a striking yet serene contrast. This side evokes calm and quiet beauty, perfect for bringing a touch of nature’s elegance into your space.
