BluePrint of a Collection: Cyanotype Photography by David Sokosh
An exploration of American Material Culture in the collection of Vermont’s Shelburne Museum.
May 10 - October 19, 2025

This exhibition of photographic prints, objects and motion pictures is the result of a two year project working with the collections at Shelburne Museum. the project started out in a very straightforward way, with me asking Curator Carolyn Bauer if anyone ever created new work from objects in the permanent collection. My idea was to photograph objects on film and print them on paper using Cyanotype. The images were meant to be somewhat documentary, possibly humorous and/or ironic and to encourage the viewer to see these objects in a new way. The portfolio does those things but what I didn’t expect was to create collaged images in a whole new way, or to include photographic objects like hatboxes and a quilt, and I certainly wasn’t thinking about Cyanimation Moving Pictures. But all of this came to pass. Working with the collection at Shelburne has changed my work (both my approach and the result) forever. 
I hope the viewer gets as much out of viewing the work on exhibit as I did creating it!
