Cyanotype- March 2023

Methods and techniques of the past are often now forgotten due to the advancement of technology. During the 18th Century, ‘Leggers’ were integral during the industrial revolution in transporting goods through canal tunnels. They would lie on their back on a plank, place their feet on the walls of the tunnel and walk the boat through. Through re-enacting this motion, a photographic cyanotype created this piece to gain a sense of the movement of their actions and exposed using cyanotype.
