Hugh Scott-Douglas

cyanotype on linen, in 2 parts

Hugh Scott-Douglas's two-part work employs the cyanotype process on linen to produce richly textured fields of deep Prussian blue, where the organic weave of the fabric becomes an integral element of the composition. The work explores the intersection of photographic process and material surface, allowing light and chemistry to imprint directly onto the textile ground. The diptych format invites a meditation on repetition, difference, and the indexical nature of image-making.
