This exhibition of beautiful blue works was created by young people exploring different processes of print and photography, as well as ideas of identity and its relation to the world around them.
Groups of young artists, from secondary schools in Dublin 15, worked together with their art teachers and our artist Andrew Carson to further develop their skills in composition and image-making through the introduction to the interesting process of cyanotype. Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces blue prints using coated paper and light. Now this same process that was discovered by the scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel in 1842 is used by young artists in 2023 to fill the First Floor Gallery with a range of beautiful blue imagery that represents ideas of their space and place in the world.
