Phytogram Study



Phytogram Study (2022 - ongoing) 1:11min, 35mm, BW, Color, Silent

An ongoing project working with the Phytogram technique. This process uses the chemistry within plants that, if soaked in a non-toxic developer and placed on the surface of photographic emulsion, will leave unique imprints onto film. As each plant has a different chemical composition, the images left on the film are unique and unlike one another. The plants' colors, shapes, and vascular tissue are shown as close-ups and will flicker as the film is projected.
