Environmental Cyanotype beach art workshop

What a gorgeous day we had down at Mellon’s Bay Beach creating with contemporary artist Daisy Nicholas.

The community came together to be part of the cyanotype artwork and support Daisy with her vision. The public, young and old, began collecting items from the beach, and placing them down on the 10m long piece of fabric. Items such as seaweed, sticks and even a crayfish head were found. We watched as the work developed and transformed into a sea of colour, texture, and pattern.

The final work was a documentation of a time and place using a cyanotype printing process and the community were a part of the making.

You will see the work displayed shortly in the community!
