Artwork description:
The work is handmade
Gum bichromate is a 19th century photographic printing process based on the light sensitivity of dichromates. It allows pictorial images to be obtained from photographic negatives. Gum printing is traditionally a multi-layered printing process, but satisfactory results can be obtained with a single pass. Any colour can be used for rubber printing, so it is also possible to produce natural colour photographs using this layered technique.
In this work I have mixed four layers of bichromate gum.
Image format: 32x44 cm on 250 gsm Fabriano watercolour paper.
Materials used:
paper light sensitive chemicals
