Unfixed lumen process documentation

A series of ten images shows a single lumen print documenting ice cubes melting on photographic paper. The light exposure causes the paper to progressively develop and degrade. As water melts from the ice cubes, it creates clouds of pink and purple against the pale background of the paper. The clouds of colour layer on top of each other as more ice melts. As the series progresses the background of the print becomes a pinkish-purple colour marbled with lighter streaks and darker splotches, until the pinkish-purple hues fade to shades of grey. The clouds of colour ultimately resembling topographic maps of small islands.

An unfixed cyanotype print of a hand. The image is of a hand, palm facing the camera with fingers slightly spread. The word ‘echo’ is tattooed in capital letters across the lower third of the fingers, and the thumb is bent towards the fingers.

A series of ten images shows a single cyanotype print at intervals as it is exposed to light. The light exposure causes the print to progressively develop and degrade. The image is of a hand, palm faced to the camera with fingers slightly spread. The word ‘echo’ is tattooed in capital letters across the lower third of the fingers, and the thumb is bent towards the fingers. In the first image the background of the image is a mid-dark blue and the hand is a silvery-grey with specs of the blue colour across some of the creases in the palm and upper wrist at the bottom of the image. The blue continues to fade and the edges of the hand progressively blend into the background until the blue has entirely gone and the hand has dissolved further into the an increasingly darker grey background. By the final image the hands is barely visible.

Pinhole photographs, direct positive paper developed in caffenol-c

A series of three photographs taken through a window using a pinhole camera with direct positive paper. The photographs were developed using caffenol-c, a more environmentally friendly developer made from coffee. The view in the photographs show the bushes and trees directly outside the window. Between the trees the street view includes a bus stop, a small block of flats across the road, and several blocks of taller flats in the distance.

Imagined Landscapes, 2022
Hand manipulated polaroid film

A series of five polaroid photographs with white frames. The polaroid film haas not been shot through a camera so instead of the usual photographic image you would expect to see, there is an abstract shape that has been created from manipulating the chemistry by hand. The shapes look almost like a series of surging foamy white waves flecked with turquoise, dancing against a golden background.
