These Monotypes were the beginning of my exploration to understand how natural dyes interact, respond and blend with each other, just like how, various plants coexist in an ecosystem. The colors extracted from plants can be vivid and intense, or subtle and delicate but whatever is the result, each has a uniqueness that can’t be replicated.

Made Paper with Cotton rag. 15”X15”

I have tried printing these monotypes on paper made with cotton and abaca 80/20 blend as well as 100% cotton. The results varied a bit. The print on cotton paper were much brighter compared to cotton/abaca.
