My “Blue Paths” is a mixed media work consisting of cyanotypes crafted on handmade paper and receipt paper. The cyanotypes were then added onto larger handmade paper and then I added stitchwork. Additional items such as mica and dryer sheets were spread across the work for stability and more visual texture. This is a triptych that represents the dynamic and converging lines of paths that we go through in life. Sometimes we stay on one path and go on multiple paths or crossroads. Life has a beginning, middle, and end, but it also requires rest - both to take a break from it all and to find the motivation to keep moving forward. We are all on a journey to discover what life has for us. Sometimes we intersect with someone else who can add meaning to our lives. Sometimes, the path we're currently on isn't the best one to take, and we can find ourselves at a crossroads. In those moments, it's okay to take a turn or pause and see where a new path leads.
