Dew point is a meteorological term denoting the atmospheric temperature, varying according to pressure and humidity, below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form. I made these wet process/solar dye prints of tall blue lettuce and Japanese knotweed in high summer, when the dew point was indicative of the oppressive heat and humidity. The lettuce is a native wildflower, and the knotweed is a noxious invasive plant. I liked the contrast between their differing leaf forms.
Materials: artist-painted and commercial silk and cotton fabric
Technique: wet process cyanotype and solar dye prints, patchwork, stitching
Size: 57”h x 55”w
