Musings at Midnight
Inspiration + Technique
A feminine take on the Roman God of new beginnings
Technique
Musings At Midnight (Study On Porcelain) was created by photographing a hand-cut collage of female photographic portraiture and the surface textures of chemigrams.After shaping, pressing and firing the porcelain disks, they are brush coated with the melted, sensitised silver gelatin emulsion under the red safelight light and then left to dry in a completely dark room. The large scale negative is contact printed onto the porcelain by exposing using a large format photographic enlarger.
The disk is then processed in conventional black & white chemistry. The porcelain must then be thoroughly soaked in water to remove any silver residue. It can then be left to dry ready for mounting and framing.

The timeless art of cyanotype printmaking
Cyanotypes, often referred to as 'blueprints', harness the power of sunlight to capture intricate designs and forms.
This age-old technique involves treating paper with a specific chemical concoction, placing objects or negatives atop, and then exposing it to sunlight.
Each artwork is meticulously crafted on handmade paper, signed with a cetificate of authenticity.
