About the book

The section “What are Anthotypes” provides an explanation of this printing technique. “My Process” shows the step-by-step method I followed by Ana to create the anthotypes. The heart of the book lies within the sections dedicated to Earth, Ocean, and Sky. These sections present the anthotype prints that she made using photosensitive material derived from plants. They were all gifted to the participants of this project.
