VanDerBeek toned the image blue, a color that recalled for her \u201cthe quality of light and the presence of the sky and various materials throughout Cleveland,\u201d blueprints in the studio of the late architect Robert Little, and cyanotypes, an early photographic process related to blueprints. The horizontal lines and gradually deepening color could be read as a seascape or the sky at dusk, transforming an image of urban decay into an image of natural beauty.",
