“Morning Dew (aka Rebirth in the Night Sky)” Photograph

“Morning Dew (aka Rebirth in the Night Sky)” is a one-of-a-kind silver gelatin print, from my "The Many Rings of Saturn" (series);. MadeWITHOUT A CAMERA AND WITHOUT AN ENLARGER, this mixed process photogram was made with ice/ice concoctions, flowers, sand, glitter, and wax, during my virtual residency for Frames Magazine, in 2022. 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 for film photographs. 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. I am drawn to landscapes of the western United States, so being based on the east coast, I would travel to make my landscape photographs as often as possible. All of my images are essentially subconscious self-portraits or spiritual landscapes that reveal their spiritual nature in the darkroom. (That applies to my cameraless work as well). 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.
