Totally enthralled by the blueprints of Susan Weil, the 95-year-old American artist who has been mastering this technique since childhood.
Her process stems from the 19th century 'cyanotype' technique that involves coating paper in light sensitive solutions (which turn to Prussian blue in sunlight), and arranging objects and bodies directly onto the paper (in the dark) to create these otherworldly images...
In 1950, Weil introduced her then husband, Robert Rauschenberg to the process, and together they made the most extraordinary large-scale artworks filled with bodies, plants, shells, and more...
I have interviewed Lou Stoppard on Weil, who speaks so beautifully on them existing in a space that is both liminal and indescribable.
