Clover is a Photographer/Artist that uses an alternative form of photography creating photograms/blueprints using the Cyanotype process. This process was one of the first technologies used to create photographic images without the use of a camera in the early 19th Century.
Clovers work is a mixture of both Traditional and Wet Cyanotype Prints based solely on the Nature and flora that surround her home in Shetland. Clover creates prints on water colour paper and cotton fabric using only light sensitive chemicals in the darkroom. Then she places flora and nature onto the sensitized paper and then exposes in the sunlight . Once created they produce a deep Prussian blue and white image, each print is unique showing the beauty of the flora and nature in Shetland
