Photograms

I have a long history with creating photograms and cameraless images. A special place in my art includes what I call Glowograms, where I have made cameraless images by the use of toys or creatures that emit a phosphorescent light, thereby exposing themselves to the paper.

I have a series of photograms that are are created by putting un-exposed photo paper in the mail, letting the image expose itself through the mailing process, and then develop it upon arrival.

The Negative Office Thoughts and Positive Office Thoughts images have been created by putting un-exposed photo paper in the mail. The paper is packaged in a box along with carefully selected items inside and positive notes about my day job (kudos notes, korporate kash, etc...). Packaged with a light emitting object generated from work, these mailings carry hopes of reconciling my day-job-self with my art-self. —An effort to bring two places a little closer to alleviate frustrations with both.
