Cameraless polymer photogravure
My prints are formed through direct contact between Dabberlocks and the photogravure plate, with ultraviolet light passing through the pressed fronds. The varying density of the seaweed determines the tonal range of the print, registering translucency, thickness, and edge as shifts in depth. The resulting images read as material impressions rather than representations—records of contact in which organic form is translated through light and pressure.
In Relic, Dabberlocks is gathered as drift and treated as excavated material—already displaced, already marked by passage. Preserved through contact with the plate, the seaweed appears as recovered surface rather than specimen. The series adopts an archaeological mode of looking, attending to trace, residue, and the partial survival of form.
Medium: print - edition of 10
Framing: White Contemporary Frame with Artglass
Authenticity: signed and editioned
