Alexander Hamilton's cyanotypes of roses, irises, poppies and other flowers are remerkable for their exquisite delicacy with which they record their fragile subjects. When he moved to the island of Stroma for six months, making images  and working with nature became part of the rhythm of his daily life. His use of cyanotype records the plants and their forms much in the way he has disocvered fish fossils that had lain undisturbed for thousands of years. 

Alexander Hamilton works with light and nature to record roses, poppies, tulips and gladioli, and cultivates these flowers in his own home to perfect and idealise them. In his cyanotypes, the short-lived beauty of each individual bloom becomes a frozen symbol of the desire to improve nature according to cultural ideals.
