For this project I made a grid like formation with 5 cyanotypes because I was really fascinated by the cyanotype process once I researched it. I created transparencies with images that I hand selected from the internet and edited. The images I chose all related to surrealism/psychoanalysis in at least one way shape or form. I wanted to do something a little abnormal than the normal cyanotype by instead of painting a square I decided to make a mockup of the Rorschach inkblot test. To do this I folded each of my 5"x7" papers in half, then blotted the chemical on one half of the paper and again, folded it in half. Then let those dry.

I originally had 6 - 5"x7" inkblot cyanotypes but found they weren't as of high of quality and didn't necessarily fit in with the others. I chose to arrange the cyanotypes in this way so that I could bring most of the attention to the, "Are you normal?" print. That print in particular is the main focus because the Rorschach inkblot test is something that was/is used for psychoanalysis and that brings up the main question of, "Are you normal?"
