Jo Bradford

Jo Bradford works primarily with cameraless photographic printmaking techniques such as photograms, luminograms and cliché verre prints. Without camera, film or digital intervention, the creation of her prints involves the arrangement of glass plates and objects, stencils and translucent objects through which she exposes coloured light, creating shapes and forms directly onto light sensitive paper, fusing printmaking, painting and traditional darkroom photography practices. Each finished piece is a unique artwork.

A three time Arts Council England Grant recipient, Bradford exhibits and sells her work internationally. Jo was born in Hertfordshire, raised in South Africa and lives and works at her studio and darkroom, Green Island Studios, on Dartmoor in Devonshire, UK.
