“A methodology in recording alchemical reactions on photographic paper. This technique allows liquid solutions to react with the chemistry that creates images - generating minute tonal shifts, crystalline structures, and traces of exposure. The reaction is then cast in UV resistant resin, preventing further chemical developments and colour changes in the photographic paper. This series acts as a visual case study, to isolate and identify specific reactions between chemistries.”
