Faces in the Dark Wood #1 (SOLD)
Early experiments in Black Magic
Silver gelatin print on glass (2mm glass), and mounted in a beautiful rose coloured (with silver detail) mid 20th century wooden frame. (400x300mm)
Made by coating the surface of the glass with silver gelatin, and projecting onto it the image from a 35mm black and white negative of a multiple exposure photomontage. Created digitally, the black and white negative is then made from the digital image. The exposures are of St Boniface Down on the Isle of Wight (taken in twilight, flora blurs and faces are revealed in the bokeh), and images of faces and temples in Kathmandu, Nepal. The piece of glass is then developed in the dark room, and fixed with a chemical called ‘Black Magic’.
The image side of the glass is exposed, so must be treated carefully (as you would treat the surface of a photograph).
