I had a great time working with Film for Artists: Site and Cycle Residency participants yesterday at http://artscapegibraltarpoint.ca/. We experimented with Karel Doing’s phytogram method. Phytograms are created by the exposure of black and white film overlaid with plant material soaked in a washing soda, vitamin-c and water and dried in daylight. With phytograms, plant life is both the subject matter of the images and assists the means of photographic reproduction.
I used phytograms in It Matters What.
Some photos from the workshop are below.
