Iris Pigment Test - Limited Edition 1 of 1 Photograph

Recently, I began printing on discontinued photographic paper because of the way it responded to the darkroom technique of solarization. In the boxes of paper, I would encounter unexposed test strips of darkroom paper scissor cut by the original owners of the paper. I feel it is important to include this artifact by collaging the exposed test strip on top of the final solarized (sabatier effect) print. This image was photographed while I was testing out a dilution of water and crushed up iris petals to use for another project. Instead of brushing the mixture on, I decided to apply it drop by drop to see how quickly the pigment would be absorbed by the paper. I was compelled to photograph the resting drops as they refracted the outside light.
