 Into The Blue III         


  'Bridging Time & Imagination' is a captivating group exhibition that not only showcases the contemporary Cyanotype process but also pays homage to its fascinating origins.

     The cyanotype process, first discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1842, opened up a new world of possibilities in the realm of photography and image-making. Its distinctively ethereal blue hues have enchanted artists and photographers for generations.

      As you journey through the exhibition, you'll observe the innovative ways in which artists today harness this time-honoured technique. From bold experimental works to delicate, intricate compositions, the works on display demonstrate the versatility and enduring relevance of Cyanotypes in the contemporary art world.  
While exploring the contemporary applications, we invite you to reflect on the process's humble beginnings with Sir John Herschel's groundbreaking discovery, initially intended as a simple method for reproducing notes and diagrams, (to become known as the ‘blue print’) and has since evolved into an expressive art form that continues to intrigue and inspire.

      “Bridging Time and Imagination" is not only a celebration of the past and present but also an invitation to ponder the ever-evolving relationship between tradition and innovation.
