photographs

All the black and white artworks on the webpage are gelatin silver photographs made by the artist from original analogue negatives. They have been treated with reducer, toned with selenium, gold or sulfid toner to guarantee the maximum preservation and spotted by hand individually with a small brush.

Artworks are not numbered according to the gelatin silver print tradition as they are each unique in their tones and they have slight variations due to their individual qualities.

Cyanotypes and argyrotypes are made on acid free aquarelle paper and are numbered in the small editions.
