Ffion has been working big with her cyanotypes!
A masters graduate from Aberystwyth university Ffion work with pinhole and cyanotype along with numerouse other processes. 
This post is relating to her huge full body size cyanotype take a look and dont forget check out the website!

Below find the abstract from her site about the project.
‘Gwas y Neidr’ is a series of giant cyanotype images exploring the idea of transformation.  There is something particularly poetic about a nymph turning itself into a dragonfly. This crawling, dark creature emerges into an elegant, free being.

Transformation is constant and all around us. Using the cyanotype process allows me to experiment with these ideas.  I interact with light, shadow, water and matter, capturing an ethereal metamorphosis of the natural world. 

The physical involvement carried out during the making of a piece is also fundamental. It is like a ritualistic act, allowing the subconscious to play a big role.  I am a performer, but the audience is the chemically altered, light sensitive paper.
