 Anthotype

An anthotype is an image created using photosensitive material from plants. Anthotype originally invented by Mary Somerville in 1842. An emulsion is made from crushed flower petals or any other light-sensitive plant, fruit or vegetable.Place some material, for example leaves or a transparent photo positive on the paper and expose to direct full sunlight until the image part not covered by the material is bleached out by the sun rays. The color remains in the shadowed parts. The paper remains sensitive against such rays. Black cabbage was used . Exposed in 30 hours of sunlight. The plants that appear are local plants.When exhibited in an illuminated environment, the works disappear in about a year. My purpose: In this work I have done with plant extracts, the artifacts created are disappearing in a short time, but the damages caused by humans to nature cannot be compensated for hundreds of years. My aim is to draw attention to a more livable world.
