If youâd told me twenty years ago that a small-town girl from rural Groveland, California, would one day make the esteemed Critical Mass Top 50 list, teenage Britt would have rolled her eyes at you. Today, itâs with immense honor and excitement that I share: Jamnesia has made that list!
This isnât just another accolade. This is roller derby, our community, on the worlds finest art stage. So if you catch me with that âpinch meâ grin today, know itâs a shared victory. Thank you all! Thank you @photolucida . Sincerely.
This is Nitrate Fox.
Born from silver, sweat, and subversion.
I make images the hard wayâon glass, on metal, in darkness.
Volatile. Tactile. Singular.
đ¸ These arenât Just files.
Theyâre artifacts.
Proof that we were here.
People consume art.
Icons collect it.

Golden summer evenings in the studio, quietly working on the next body of work.
And honestly⌠it only gets to exist because I stepped away from commercial work long enough to hear myself think again. To ask new questions.
Jamnesia gave me that. This project gave me so much.
As the book gets closer to selling out (over 100 books sold in the last 30 days), Iâve started feeling the edges of whatever comes next. My toes hanging over the edge of certainty and the unknown.
And honestly, thatâs usually how I know Iâm standing in exactly the right place creatively.
Part 11 - Heatwave
Day two in Las Vegas nearly broke me.
The permit was supposed to allow my darkroom within 100 feet of where I was shooting.
Instead, I ended up over a quarter mile away in 122-degree heat.
Every plate meant running that distance four times before the chemistry dried.
By the end of the day, I had run nearly 10 miles carrying silver, chemistry, water, and gear through Fremont Street.
Half my appointments canceled.
I still made the work anyway.
This is Part 11 of the behind-the-scenes series for Jamnesia â my wet plate collodion monograph documenting roller derby culture across the country.
Only a few hundred copies remain from the first and only edition.
Jamnesia is available now until itâs gone.
The week after I publicly announced that I was stepping away from commercial work, I found myself sitting on a panel beside filmmaker @farrantabrizi .
Someone asked her why she left her corporate job to pursue filmmaking full time.
Her answer hit me like a wrecking ball:
âYou canât make anything of significance in spare time.â
I havenât stopped thinking about that sentence since.
For years, Iâve been trying to build a serious art career in the leftover hours of my life. Eventually, I realized there were not physically enough hours in the week to keep building two careers at once.
Something has to give.
I wrote honestly today about ambition, risk, art, exhaustion, and what it means to stop building around survival and start building toward the life you actually want.
âSomething Has to Giveâ â new blog post live now. Link in Bio.
Open Studios today @artistsofcasp
đ Studio E3 â Cubberly Artist Studios
Step inside the processâ
wet plate collodion, 170+ years old, made by hand.
Books, prints, and work on view.
See it in person.
I started with a process.
That process inspired a tattoo.
The tattoo changed how I saw my body.
That manifested into a self portrait.
That image became a print.
The print inspired a sticker.
Then a brand.
Then a book.
None of it exists on its own. Art inspires more art.
