In her workshop with Crazy Glue art group at Prince Rock school in 2019, Rosie introduced the Cyanotype, or sunprint; an early form of photography. This simple process involves taking the light sensitive paper outside, and placing it face up with one or more objects on top. Then you wait for the magic to happen. A sunprint takes between 5-15 minutes depending on weather before the paper can be taken back inside and rinsed under cold water to reveal the final image.
