Diluvian, 2008 - ongoing, unique silver gelatin solar photograms & Deluge, pigment ink jet prints

The images in the Diluvian series were created using expired black and white photographic paper, via a unique process combining photogram techniques, chemical reactions in the paper, and solar exposure. These one-of-a-kind contact prints, which feature discarded cell phones, computer parts and organic materials, display surprising colors and tones caused by the lengthy exposure process. The Deluge series uses similar source materials displayed in a more straightforward manner. Once prized for their state-of-the-art new-ness, these generic objects are transformed into worthless trash once their owner deems them to be useless. The word ‘diluvian’ refers to both the flood caused by the disposability of these objects, as well as to their immanent replacement with new ones.
