I want to let you all in on the process behind my most recent project
For the longest time I had wanted to explore darkroom printmaking (being self taught I always had resentments never learning the basics of my craft). When @zoelukov graciously offered me a studio residency at @wsanyc I decided to turn it into a makeshift darkroom and create a series of works for my show in @asmundarsalur with @miles.greenberg
The goal was to explore the idea of intimacy on a grand scale, to capture a fleeting moment of an encounter with a group of people and etch it into a life size portrait. So I decided that the best approach would be to make Photograms (it’s a camera-less process where a flicker of light imprints the subjects directly onto photosensitive paper).
So basically… I was creating a darkroom inside a darkroom.

For a while I had been thinking how I can turn photographs into physical objects.
When I started the process of coming up with the story for Acne Paper I thought it would be a great opportunity to make these golden bas-relief tablets of some of the photographs from the shoot.
I asked @james.t.merry to help me figure this out and we came up with a way to transform the photographs into 3D lithographs which later on were 3D printed. The prints were hand finished by @andrewlimclarkson in gold and reshot as still life for the story.
