The second of two 'window' works as part of a new series of cyanotypes that are being made under the restrictions of spring/summer 2020. From a position of isolation I reflect on absent friends and family, and the distant connections we still make via the internet and telephones. Looking more closely at the immediate environment, such as through the circle of a microscope lens, led to the circular format and recurrent theme of the bubble with all it's metaphorical resonances. Some of the cyanotypes remain as they are when printed, whereas others are being painted into with watercolour and pigment such as Lapis lazuli and Egyptian Blue.
