2023-06-16 Matisse in the Sun

Chapter:

Yesterday we went in to town for lunch, and met Emma from Natural Learning Oxford in an art festival at Gloucester Green market. She showed us how to make cyanotypes, or “sun prints”. I made a quick cut-out in Matisse style and used it to partially expose the prepared sensitive paper in sunlight for about four minutes (it was a nice, sunny day.) Then washed of the excess and left it to dry. I’m told the colour is permanent. I think I will try more of this!

Inspired by my new job at Oxbotica, writing software for self-driving vehicles. I’m having a lot of fun, learning new things and building stuff. Roll on the day when only computers drive, and road rage will just be something you take a history tablet to learn about in school.

Idyllic punting river scene. A young woman with parasol and sun-dress is waited on by a robot waiter which is also doing the punting. Ducks look on knowingly. The boat says "Oxboatica."

Chapter:
