Scottish Stargazer
Inspiration + Technique
Inspired by Scottish stargazer Williamina Fleming
Technique
Scottish Stargazer (Study On Porcelain) was created by constructing a hand-cut collage using female photographic portraiture, photograms from antique glass slides of interstellar clouds, and hand-printed surface textures of lunar craters.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 classic elegance of silver gelatin discs
Silver gelatin discs, a cornerstone in the realm of photographic expression, embody the traditional essence of monochrome imagery.
This venerable method involves coating discs with a gelatin emulsion containing light-sensitive silver halides. The disc is then exposed to light, creating a tactile representation of light and shadow.
Scottish Stargazer is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation crafted on
paper porcelain disk,
accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
