ANTI-ALCHEMY
In contrast to the Alchemy series, these pieces are created with new photographic paper. They respond to the abstraction of photography in contemporary times; selfies and digital feeds are combined with the duality of the physical and digital persona.
The paper is soaked in photographic chemicals and water for extended periods of time. Gradually, the water stagnates and the chemistry becomes inactive. The water begins to erode and destroy the emulsion and the dyes within the paper, which leads to an uncontrollable response.
The paper is rolled tightly therefore direct contact is made throughout it. This then leaves a trace from the reactive side, creating a two-sided print of vastly different aesthetics which can only exist due to the other.
