About the Item
Unique landscape photograph; This mixed process ice-rubbing photogram was made with snow, sand, palm leaves, the Pacific Ocean, and a frozen spinach-infused concoction.
(Apologies for the cell shot, I am between (teaching) classes right now, which means I won't have access to a flatbed scanner for at least a few months; my darkroom is at home in my space-challenged NYC apartment and I pump out way too much artwork to pay per print or by the hour to scan work, so for now, cell shots of my new work will have to suffice.)
I collected most of these materials when I was in southern California, teaching a brief photograms workshop, last summer, as my current body of work ("Winds of Change") inspired me to begin making location-specific photograms, which are landscape photographs in their own right (which is actually what inspired my vision for my upcoming monograph, EQUIVALENCE). I'm starting to run quite low on ocean water and find snow and various ice concoctions to be a wonderful materials to work with, so used the latter to stretch my Windansea Beach materials a bit further.
Printed in February 2024, this cameraless photograph actually originated as a demo print, for a Zoom DIY Darkroom student (that's what I do for work post-covid, as my darkroom is in my apartment).
A photogram is made by placing materials directly on top of a photographic surface and exposing it to light. Followed by processing it in darkroom chemistry. It is unique, and I do NOT EVER offer digital versions of my work, so once a print sells, that's it, it's off the market.
I tend to do triple exposures with weird light sources, as my entry into the work of experimental photography was the result of beginning the covid shutdown with an unfinished darkroom (fortunately the wet side was nearly completed in just the nick of time). And it's such a fun process, that I basically get to play in the darkroom in the opposite way I work when making film photographs.
All of my images are essentially subconscious self-portraits or spiritual landscapes that reveal themselves to me in the darkroom, as I've never been able to separate myself from my work. (That applies to my cameraless prints as well).
I have been dedicated to the art of the handmade photograph for over two decades. Pre-covid, I was exclusively a film-photographer, specializing in true infrared film and emotive/spiritual photographs. Drawn to landscapes of the western United States, while based on the east coast, I travel out west, to make my landscape photographs, as often as possible.
Falling into experimental photography by accident not only opened my mind to what a (spiritual) landscape photograph could be, but in a very short time, my cameraless work began to transcend the realm of photography, and that started with my very first photograms, made in June 2020. I think of each of my photograms as unique works of art - and many of my processes are inspired by printmaking and sculpture, among other things.In fact this very image is an ice-rubbing photogram, which is a process that was inspired by intaglio (printmaking) my second love, but translated for silver gelatin papers. The process is not always kind to the paper, but tends to leave some really interesting marks behind. I like to think of them as a second signature:)
