Cyanotypes are an early photographic technique invented by astronomer Sir John Herschel in 1842. Paper is sensitised and then exposed to sunlight to turn exposed areas of the image blue. Here, natural materials including bones have been combined with hand-drawn stencils. Quendas were once found throughout the southwest of Australia but, unlike many other local marsupials, they still survive in pockets in the urban areas of Perth. Nature is alive, but for the killing of cats. (Artist Statement)
