Contact
Contact is the name I have given my main body of work for the past six years. I created this body of work using light-sensitive photographic paper (originally meant for the color darkroom). In each of these pieces, I take large sheets and rolls of this material into the natural world, and allow the paper to come into contact with the natural elements of each area.
Simple titles specify the archetypal area the place was 'planted' or the specific ingredients placed on the paper for its exposure. The exposure time on these pieces ranges from a few hours to several weeks. After exposure, the images do not appear until they have been processed using traditional RA-4 chemistry.
