Spider Val
Started as 35mm film darkroom print. Then, burned with a small flame to create randomized blistering of the film in the center. The photo was then scanned and imported in photoshop. End product is digital.

An early self portrait while modeling a Kodalith corset made by fellow friend. Final product is a digital print.

Eisele
Started as 35mm film that was printed onto Kodalith paper. Then, toned the darkroom print metallic copper. Dust is not on physical print, but exists on digital copy due to scanner.
Warped Perception
Started as 35 mm black and white film, then burned with a small flame. This image was then printed on Kodalith paper. Dust only appears on digital because of scanner.
Myself Long Ago
Taken with 4 x 5 camera and film. Then, printed on kodalith that was not fully washed. This leaves the fixer solution on the image which creates the white dots. Around the image, a circular mat board was cut. The digital copy must have a sqaure shape due to photoshop limitations.

dripping identity |
Both taken on 4 x 5 film. Left image was burned before printing. Bleach was used on the right image to distort the image using an alternative darkroom method. Both images then printed on Kodalith.
Uncovered Glass
This piece was created was created after seven revisions. It has a white glass bottom with a transfer photo on top. Then, baking soda with clear glass on top. On the clear glass, there is a second transfer photo decal.
Cutting Away
This glass work was created with a single transfer print on white glass with clear glass on top. Then, a split was cut half way through and baking soda was poured on the bottom half of the transfer photo under the top layer of glass. The scissors were sprayed with flex seal. This piece is meant to display the transition of cutting away a past identity and shift to a new one.
Escape of Freedom
Digital print was cut, and then I sprayed the blue bird with flex seal. This is meant to convey that frustration may feel shattering and bleak, but the pieces can still be put back together.
