Blue Dahlia Queen
Traditional cyanotype
24 x 25cm
Working from the iconic photographs of Dorothy Wilding, who was entrusted with taking the first official portraits of the young Queen Elizabeth II, I have reimagined her diamond tiara with flowers from her own gardens.
Through the cyanotype process, these flowers become a different kind of crown, one that reflects the woman rather than the institution.
It was only later that I discovered the dahlias I had chosen were also among the flowers gathered from her gardens and placed upon her coffin.
A beautiful and unexpected connection that makes these pieces all the more meaningful to me.
Please note: I have chosen to frame these pieces in vintage frames that I have collected. They are in great condition but may show signs of age.
