Photograms - Silver Gelatin Paper
When light passes through glass, mysteries about the material and the making process are unveiled. I see the images produced in these photograms as clues to the how and why of each object. Each ring and fold of refraction is showing us properties like thickness, temperature, and glass chemistry. This process takes a three-dimensional object and compresses its data into a two-dimensional image.
Understanding how things come to be helps us understand why they are as they are. Understanding why things are as they are allows us to see what they truly are, to cut away the fluff intended to distract us from seeing the distilled essence of a thing, a concept, a person.
