Appaloosa (Beauty)

Archival pigment print on bamboo fibre paper, from unique mordençage photograph.

Mordançage is an alternative process that alters traditional silver-gelatin photographs by chemically bleaching the print so that it can be redeveloped. The black areas of the emulsion lift away from the paper giving the appearance of veils which are then removed or manipulated, depending on the desired outcome. Areas where the emulsion was removed appear to be in relief. These prints can become oxidized during their creation, further altering the tonality of the image and are unique.

11 x 14″ unframed.
