Unexposed Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper, Type Super C, Matte Surface These unique “photographic drawings” are rooted in personal and physical experience, especially those related to loss, unity, failure, and the latent potential residing in personal history and traditional photographic materials. The process of their creation relies on the serendipitous interdependence between paper and chemistry, exposure and lack thereof, light and shadow, chance encounters, risk, and the alchemy inherent in traditional photographic processes. While developed in a traditional RA-4 color processor and chemistry these images are not processed in accordance with any manufacturers instructions for archival permanence. Traces of un-fixed and unwashed chemistry may still be present on the image and any changes in color and density over time are intentional.
