Custom Framed Lunar Map Cyanotype

Mariano Chavez (b. 1974)

Our large detailed Lunar Map looks stunning framed and makes a unique centerpiece. The work is float framed on archival board that compliments the piece showing off the natural deckled edge and natural paper characteristics. The Lunar Map is also available unframed and is listed separately. Below are some specs and process about this work:

The Lunar Map is made with a large film negative on a massive custom sheet of Arches French watercolor paper (the best available 100% cotton paper) . The sheet is then carefully coated to ensure an even consistent color, dried and exposed under UV light causing the reaction to change the oxide solution into a deep blue. The cyanotype process is an old photographic process that predates silver based photography and was used with great effect on the field to document plant specimens . There is something alluring and calming with this color blue that will add a beautiful calming touch to your environment. 

Dimensions (as framed):
