frequent dramatic<br />
weather events, I’ve been working on a series of weather-related quilts. The<br />
greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in the Earth's
atmosphere<br />
trap the Sun's heat. This makes Earth much warmer and contributes to extreme<br />
weather, wildfires, droughts, and agricultural disruptions. For this quilt I<br />
made prints of leaves from species native to my micro-environment in<br />
Pennsylvania, as many are showing stress related to these changes.<br />
<br />
For decades I’ve been experimenting with cyanotype<br />
printing on fabric as a surface design technique. These prints have become
the<br />
basis of my artistic practice.<br />
<br />
Combined with the print imagery, I use traditional quilt<br />
making techniques to assemble a patchwork of fabrics. The work is then
layered<br />
and heavily stitched.<br />
<br />
Materials: artist painted and commercial cotton, silk,<br />
wool fabrics<br />
<br />
Techniques: wet process cyanotype and solar dye prints,<br />
monoprints, patchwork, stitching<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The tech behind these could not be any simpler. A piece of Foma black and white photographic paper is rolled up, inserted, and sealed inside a clean beer can. A single pinhole is poked in the can to admit light, the whole works is attached to a hopeful vantage point, and then I wait. These cans were put out on the summer solstice, so each swooping line on the horizon represents a single day's journey of the sun across the horizon.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcbBitpxavHc6I0UbzpIXjCCBM2gHqiOykotsUqvox23izXHu_h9HKwf6q39m6rxpFyGb6LniVxPfp2JZJYzHSntYraLoIQN2lfbb0C4j8PtpR66JsEy0R7SXnK2-2iWwkfPtvZxQSg0OZUWVES81uUHI1yQ9mcW_W4mc57gwknOQ3fJKM5jTzXc56j0eg/s4053/Sue%20Reno_Winter%20Solstice%202023%20Pinhole_Image%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sue Reno, 2023 Winter Solstice Pinhole image 3" border="0" data-original-height="2910" data-original-width="4053" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcbBitpxavHc6I0UbzpIXjCCBM2gHqiOykotsUqvox23izXHu_h9HKwf6q39m6rxpFyGb6LniVxPfp2JZJYzHSntYraLoIQN2lfbb0C4j8PtpR66JsEy0R7SXnK2-2iWwkfPtvZxQSg0OZUWVES81uUHI1yQ9mcW_W4mc57gwknOQ3fJKM5jTzXc56j0eg/w320-h230/Sue%20Reno_Winter%20Solstice%202023%20Pinhole_Image%203.jpg" title="Sue Reno, 2023 Winter Solstice Pinhole image 3" width="320" /></a></div>It's best to aim it towards the south, but it's also fun to experiment.

Up first is a print on cotton fabric using sensitive fern, Onoclea sensibilis, and eastern redbud leaves, Cercis canadensis. The redbud is a sport variety, Rising Sun, I had my eye on all summer at my favorite nursery, and when it went on sale in the fall I brought it home. The leaves emerge orangey-red, then turn chartreuse, which sounds sort of gimmicky but looks really lovely. <p></p><p>The sensitive fern was the focus of a large quilt I did back in 2007, which I titled <a href="https://suereno.com/mystery-fern" target="_blank">Mystery Fern</a>. This was pre-google image search, when I had to rely on what was in my head or in my field guides, and at first I couldn't do a positive ID, hence the "mystery". It remains one of my all-time favorites, for its imagery and it's cool, woodsy vibe.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqTQOCvj2TPwH5zw161AAvtURBcs51qlP-iTLVxZAMTIvRDyHrYpupL0OBOZSRDqp4VpWFjpZ3yKg3t3fbPYLaWCQYR9eqlJZBP3-VkFqVscO9NZ9zZioFJDEyYrjbT41tkFmt6QV1al-JLFNRWsT7VIRcJjSc5IU9jtkV4ZzMUapTwzOW528Z83HOr0I6/s1400/SueRenoMysteryFern.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

I would like to point out that this is image number 1000 of the images I have shared over the years in this series of posts about my experiments in wet cyanotype printing. It's been a true labor of love to document and post these! As a group they have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, and from time to time someone writes to acknowledge their usefulness. I have been active online for a long time, and part of me still clings to the ethos that this is a vehicle for disseminating knowledge freely, to add joy and value to other people's lives.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqvru-xifZgtDc-942MZe4hverwQJMrz3t4P_KGSxHl98loz1artw5RGKq_NL_ghetnnaAvhCqbt5kMx_1j02yqBvTVKSdQewt7KLKTbwpkqRrKodxx-hi26HoeZ6lwz92_utFXKG3xfpSf0l4B-eMwRyIzo261xYOE0zmujt_QlYG8zaPdfCPkm3FeA/s1400/Sue%20Reno_wet%20cyanotype_image%201000.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sue Reno_wet cyanotype_image 1000" border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="679" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqvru-xifZgtDc-942MZe4hverwQJMrz3t4P_KGSxHl98loz1artw5RGKq_NL_ghetnnaAvhCqbt5kMx_1j02yqBvTVKSdQewt7KLKTbwpkqRrKodxx-hi26HoeZ6lwz92_utFXKG3xfpSf0l4B-eMwRyIzo261xYOE0zmujt_QlYG8zaPdfCPkm3FeA/w155-h320/Sue%20Reno_wet%20cyanotype_image%201000.jpg" title="Sue Reno_wet cyanotype_image 1000" width="155" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Here are the prints after exposure and before rinsing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJFJhTsl5mImEYL_89sSxEJl8c1hqY4F7u1XM0_POwTw9I3cvf2if9o_1rEbyjhI3WV8w5dZDn8pAxd5Hp2FySmv538IJk1LLdn97VmmuVG6BOjPS90umoZ1VRsak-nBRJfWTTiUqrlIWS2wfzkneyuMTIpGQjvmgctf8RBNS3BXTTAssBSz9-5-he4w/s1400/Sue%20Reno_wet%20cyanotype_image%201001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sue Reno_wet cyanotype_image 1001" border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="1400" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJFJhTsl5mImEYL_89sSxEJl8c1hqY4F7u1XM0_POwTw9I3cvf2if9o_1rEbyjhI3WV8w5dZDn8pAxd5Hp2FySmv538IJk1LLdn97VmmuVG6BOjPS90umoZ1VRsak-nBRJfWTTiUqrlIWS2wfzkneyuMTIpGQjvmgctf8RBNS3BXTTAssBSz9-5-he4w/w320-h240/Sue%20Reno_wet%20cyanotype_image%201001.jpg" title="Sue Reno_wet cyanotype_image 1001" width="320" /></a></div></div>Mineral paper is a tricky beast to work with as it's not really porous.

fugue state, combining fear and anxiety with isolation and boredom. I worked
through it with fevered print making, using botanical materials close at hand. I was not reticent in my embrace of bold shapes and even bolder colors. The top print in this quilt is a wet process print made with cyanotype and solarfast solar dye chemicals. The leaves are white mulberry and sumac, which I've worked with before, and big red mulberry leaves, which are also in the bottom panel. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have a childlike admiration of big leaves and use them whenever I can. White mulberry leaves are easy to recognize because they have three shapes all on the same branch--an oval, a mitten, and a double mitten. The trees were brought here in Colonial times to feed the nascent (and ultimately unsuccessful) silk industry, and they easily escaped cultivation. Today they are often found on verges and disturbed ground. The berries are much loved by birds and quilters out on a hike. The larger leaves of the native red mulberry have been a bit more elusive to find, for me, so this was a score.</div><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQv8izHTk2tR-VP0iJhoO3ZXnjmBzUl3eghJ3elp7xgP1ycfOOxm-JUlla2O_0ZkWiRSlK1-5IZf3Xf6FxmkicWZhn-gJSAT_o693x4vsLror0QnpS5CeEvij6RnPNlgCtZUY31zLft9i0lQpu1kwm2KK-2aKP8cpDqvQP4HZIUjhD3shRmed7WL36uw/s1000/SueReno_FeverDreamDetail2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Fever Dream by Sue Reno, detail 2" border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="1000" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQv8izHTk2tR-VP0iJhoO3ZXnjmBzUl3eghJ3elp7xgP1ycfOOxm-JUlla2O_0ZkWiRSlK1-5IZf3Xf6FxmkicWZhn-gJSAT_o693x4vsLror0QnpS5CeEvij6RnPNlgCtZUY31zLft9i0lQpu1kwm2KK-2aKP8cpDqvQP4HZIUjhD3shRmed7WL36uw/w320-h214/SueReno_FeverDreamDetail2.jpg" title="Fever Dream by Sue Reno, detail 2" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fever Dream, detail 2</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As my days were spent printmaking, my evenings were spent obsessively hand-stitching hexagons.

the leaf litter, to snakes in hibernacula, and small mammals seeking shelter
from the elements.

It was made late in the year, so it doesn't have the wild variegations that a midsummer print often produces. But I love the quiet and subtle beauty of it, and I had great fun painstakingly stitching all the leaf veins and adding pebble quilting to the background.</div><div> <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qGlDUdHIyleFCygbmOzpLeSJPK82-5jLPxhGSdjlr9i2jj4g4Cqqd-12G0rOMaGokRBl5LoASlZ5mc73K8NCb6e3AvBs2QpIk9b2pbsV2If60M-cWZCfHK1WrNnapOLqGn8odx_R1F5_9xitxXXRDkippknCnjbTF_5eKozIqY_mXP0Y8K6rfvzAHw/s1000/SueReno_InDreamsIFoundUtopia_detail3.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="In Dreams I Found Utopia, by Sue Reno, detail 3" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="785" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qGlDUdHIyleFCygbmOzpLeSJPK82-5jLPxhGSdjlr9i2jj4g4Cqqd-12G0rOMaGokRBl5LoASlZ5mc73K8NCb6e3AvBs2QpIk9b2pbsV2If60M-cWZCfHK1WrNnapOLqGn8odx_R1F5_9xitxXXRDkippknCnjbTF_5eKozIqY_mXP0Y8K6rfvzAHw/w251-h320/SueReno_InDreamsIFoundUtopia_detail3.jpg" title="In Dreams I Found Utopia, by Sue Reno, detail 3" width="251" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In Dreams I Found Utopia, detail 3<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>The needlefelted and beaded river panel references, in my mind, a very specific section of the trail where in high water events the water breaches the trail and settles in curved depressions around the trees on the other side.

These wet cyanotype prints capture the effect of moonlight on some of the perennial stars in my garden borders. Plants used are plume poppy, calla lily, and Virginia creeper. I do love a big dramatic leaf!<div><br /></div><div>My concerns about climate change, our lackluster governmental response, and the increasing frequency of damaging storms have lead me to make an informal series of quilts based on weather phenomenon. Here I am taking a gentle approach, evoking the mood as I stand in my doorway and watch a thunderstorm sweep across my garden beds, refreshing them after a scorching day under the July sun. Perhaps you've shared the experience of waiting until the lightening has passed, then dashing out to dance about a bit in the warm rain--I particularly recommend enjoying this activity with children.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKgOuDSE2l3iIHql00uKo7yLQZpDGaDh1jT7RNPnCXqlSLD12m63FMDtax5Qma50dxrYCRFqmKCUWMGVfFxgg397aowaALZKbllxcjjnKwVr_auZ-iR7G4ZjZEzQPwacQzNUwjZrL3mosMn-BhsP64lI9olZY-cXjlINmze_8l6mHo4KemdZk7-YRLbg/s1000/SueReno_UndertheThunderMoon_detail2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Under the Thunder Moon, by Sue Reno, detail 2" border="0" data-original-height="772" data-original-width="1000" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKgOuDSE2l3iIHql00uKo7yLQZpDGaDh1jT7RNPnCXqlSLD12m63FMDtax5Qma50dxrYCRFqmKCUWMGVfFxgg397aowaALZKbllxcjjnKwVr_auZ-iR7G4ZjZEzQPwacQzNUwjZrL3mosMn-BhsP64lI9olZY-cXjlINmze_8l6mHo4KemdZk7-YRLbg/w320-h247/SueReno_UndertheThunderMoon_detail2.jpg" title="Under the Thunder Moon, by Sue Reno, detail 2" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Under the Thunder Moon, detail 2<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>The patchwork here is a mix of bits and pieces leftover from other projects.

After that, when the pandemic struck, exhibits shut down for the most part, and quite frankly, a quilt this large, 55" x 94", is always a bit more challenging to find space for. So I am thrilled to have this opportunity to show it--there's a lot of texture and detail that is optimally viewed in person.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The Center panel features a needlefelted wooly cabin, with majestic trees and silky swirly skies, a tumbling river, and farm fields on the far shore. It's based on a stay I had, years ago, in an actual cabin on the banks of my beloved Susquehanna River. It still shows up in my dreams as a green and shady place of rest and refuge. I'm hoping it conjures up similar real or imagined sanctuaries for those who view it.</span></div></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjC3ifEAYyF6w5YjbqfCeuIWBWLD_Bf0FrTF9kN1OhYDnycgX0S75q9B_fxAZ88O3jCKM-_DWr2aMrbLjQQaL2TxDrUptxqH4p4dLcnpqVRo7aTIfn0S1xLovd7XvPJth6o4VjhX4g-_e3k7hztDkjvtrjpjxnpjupqfM6aHHSA-PPEXdujO9lJ1SshQ/s1000/SueReno_InDreamsISleptInACabinDetail2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="In Dreams I Slept in a Cabin, by Sue Reno, detail 2" border="0" data-original-height="660" data-original-width="1000" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjC3ifEAYyF6w5YjbqfCeuIWBWLD_Bf0FrTF9kN1OhYDnycgX0S75q9B_fxAZ88O3jCKM-_DWr2aMrbLjQQaL2TxDrUptxqH4p4dLcnpqVRo7aTIfn0S1xLovd7XvPJth6o4VjhX4g-_e3k7hztDkjvtrjpjxnpjupqfM6aHHSA-PPEXdujO9lJ1SshQ/w320-h211/SueReno_InDreamsISleptInACabinDetail2.jpg" title="In Dreams I Slept in a Cabin, by Sue Reno, detail 2" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In Dreams I Slept in a Cabin, detail 2<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>The ferns grew large and luxuriant in the undergrowth of the woods.
