Discovered these photographs while sifting through this year’s archive to make a review of 2009. In April, the internet-famous Ctein offered to use the very last of the world’s supply of chemicals to make a final edition dye transfer print series and in a somewhat rash and foolhardy moment, one was purchased.
It is very beautiful: minutely detailed and with a resonance to the colours that’s quite astonishing. I have not seen anything like this before. A delight, in fact.
Laura Goodman came to stay and her partner and the Studio’s Mac guru James did the unboxing. It was a rather magnificent event, with a good organic Merlot wine and some tinkly music accompanying. It’ll be on the wall somewhere for one of the Open Studio afternoons, probably in the summer, along with a bromoil, some cibachromes (prints from slide film) and inevitably some liths, so you’ll be able to come and see it. There’s an incomplete interview with Laura on this HD somewhere… she has a new darkroom and studio, so there’s more to add.
There’s also the possibility of some results from a Gum Bichromate day course in January at Photofusion in London. We’ll see.
