Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter: Original artworks

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
Four Cyanotype prints by Jessica Lennan and Heidi Morstang
These cyanotypes were made in the studio, using dried wildflowers and seeds, mainly from the Dartmoor area in the Southwest of England. Each print shows flowers and plants from each season: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Cyanotypes are created without a camera, but by laying an object on paper coated with a solution before exposing it to UV light. The UV rays from the sun react with the chemicals on the paper to create the cyan-blue background. Where the paper has been covered with an object, it will remain white. The Four Seasons framed prints are displayed across two Patient Preparatory Rooms, providing a valuable distraction for patients.
