High Tide Montauk Point with cyanotype

by Joni Sternbach

HTMP is a limited edition artist book in three fascicles, sleeved together inside a folder, created in collaboration with Dust Collective and produced in a special edition of 25 that includes an original cyanotype photograph. This copy is edition 24/25.

Photographed on the bluffs of Ditch Plains with a large format camera, is the plain expanse of the ocean surface rendered originally in platinum/palladium and cyanotype. This handmade artist book seeks to replicate the photographer’s intimate experience with her subject matter. Photographed in all weather conditions and devoid of the horizon, these abstract images speak to the emotionality of the ocean and the transformative power of nature.
