Collaborating with the Undead: Material Expression in Antique Photographic Paper
Teresa Morrison
Friday, March 07 - 4:30PM to 5:30PM
Tuscany 9
Using antique photographic papers in my practice, I commune with materials that have through decades of historical events and technological change remained in the quiet dark of light-tight packages. But emulsion is not static, continually evolving through fluctuations in temperature and humidity, chemical degradation, and human interaction. Where traditional darkroom sees ruin, alternative process finds character. This presentation looks at brands, textural aesthetics, and commercial trends in photo paper history while highlighting differences in contemporary reactivity relative to silver chemistry, paper density, surface treatments, insults of age, and chance interventions that create endlessly variable, fertile substrates for experimental process.
