In Search of the Blue Flower

In Search of the Blue Flower Synopsis

Scottish photographic artist Alexander Hamilton presents his early formative years, sharing the way his engagement with the cyanotype process has informed his art practice, from his time at Edinburgh College of Art, to his program of exhibitions and residencies, through to his work within the field of public arts. This personal history is combined with essays by academics, scholars and curators who engage with the intellectual roots of his work and practice. A comprehensive selection of Hamilton's photography, including his unique plant-based cyanotypes, completes this beautiful book.
