A concretion in Lewis Center, Ohio -photographed with a Hasselblad 500 CM. Classic cyanotype chemistry on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag paper, developed in a water bath with citric acid, toned with passionflower steeped in rainwater

Image was created with the support of the Greater Columbus Art Council.
Depicted in a cool, grayish blue-green tone is a spherical stone, center frame, embedded in a creek. Fallen leaves, other stones, and shallow pools of water surround the rounded concretion. The center of the concretion is worn away, creating a small bowl in the center of the stone. A leaf lays in the center of the concretions bowl.
