Cliché Verre Photograms. 2004.

A photographic printmaking technique that predates the invention of the camera.

Inspired by my work on my series 'Constructing Space", I used stencils, hand drawn elements and meteorites to create hybrid Photogram and Cliché Verre prints. 

This body of work tells the story of an imagined journey by early space colonists on their way to set up home on a distant planet.  These are the images they may have recorded on that journey into deep space.

Cliché Verre Prints. 2007

The pictures in the Urban Illuminations gallery are made using an obscure photographic printmaking technique called Cliché Verre.

2007

Unique cameraless photogram on C-Type paper.

Inspired by the landscape of Cornwall. This method of image making is an antiquated hybrid of photographic and printmaking techniques that predate the invention of photography.
