Suspended Image is a slow, mail-based artwork that unfolds over the course of a year. Subscribers receive one exposed but unfixed cyanotype each quarter, along with instructions to complete the work at home. Each image exists in a temporary state until you choose to fix it.

This project is a collaboration — the work cannot exist without both of us.
HOW IT WORKS

Suspended Image unfolds in four parts over the course of a year.

Each quarter, a cyanotype arrives by mail in a light-safe envelope. The image has already been exposed, but it has not yet been made permanent. When you’re ready, you’ll fix the print at home using simple written and video instructions.

Cyanotypes are camera-less, sun-activated photographs. They are made by coating paper with a light-sensitive solution and exposing it to UV light. An image only becomes permanent once it is fixed (rinsed in water). Until then, it exists in a temporary, light-sensitive state.

This project is part of my ongoing exploration of analog photography and what happens to images in the space between creation and permanence. These works are intentionally paused — suspended — and require care, time, and participation to be completed.
What you will receive
  • One unfixed 8 × 10 cyanotype in a light safe sleeve and protective mailer
  • Instructions for fixing your cyanotype
  • A letter explaining the image and process

Each print is made by hand and will vary slightly. These variations are part of the work.
Subscription Details
  • Prints are mailed once per quarter
  • Subscriptions renew automatically
  • You may cancel before the next billing cycle

To keep the project small and intentional, subscriptions are limited. Once the current edition fills, enrollment will close.
Pricing

Suspended Image is structured as a small, quarterly subscription. Pricing reflects the time, materials, and care that go into producing and mailing each piece, as well as the pace and scale of the project.

Subscription Options

Quarterly Subscription
$24 per quarter (Billed every three months)
Includes one original cyanotype per quarter (4 total per year)

Annual Subscription
$90 per year (A small discount for paying upfront)
Billed once annually
Includes all four quarterly cyanotypes

Your subscription supports:

  • The creation of four original cyanotypes per year
  • Materials, preparation, and careful packaging
  • U.S. shipping for each quarterly mailing

This is not a print club or mass-produced subscription. Each piece is made by hand and mailed individually.

Scale & Availability

To keep Suspended Image manageable and intentional, subscriptions are capped at a limited number of participants. Enrollment will close once the current edition fills. If enrollment is closed, please join the waitlist!

Pricing is set for the first year of the project and may be revisited after one year as the work evolves.
