Ferns were around long before the first flower ever bloomed, so in plant terms, flowers are the new kids. Prehistoric Forest leans right into that ancient feel, with fronds of bracken fern (Pteridium esculentum) and native foliage overlapping across the page.
I collected these ferns on my conservation property in the Southern Tablelands of NSW.
At A4, it fits on a shelf, a desk or a small wall, and it pairs well with my other fern prints. One for the nature lover, the gardener, or anyone with a soft spot for dinosaurs and deep time.

What is a cyanotype?
Cyanotype is a photographic process that's over 180 years old. I paint paper with a light-sensitive solution, lay real plants on top and let the sun do the rest. The plants leave white silhouettes on deep blue.
