Living Image
The Halide Project was founded in 2015 to support the continued practice and appreciation of traditional and historic photographic processes. Based in Philadelphia, The Halide Project serves local and global communities by providing exhibition opportunities, educational programming, and other resources. We enthusiastically invite practitioners of chemistry-based photography from around the world to submit work to be considered for Living Image 2021 as a means to share their work with others and connect with like-minded artists.
Living Image showcases contemporary artists working in traditional and historic photographic techniques. Selected works will be included in an exhibition held at The Halide Project gallery in Philadelphia and published in a printed catalog to accompany the exhibition. All selected artists will receive a copy of the catalog, with additional copies available for a donation.
Ghosts Crowd Mind
Original full title "Ghosts Crowd the Young Child's Fragile Eggshell Mind", based on The Door's "The Ghost Song" lyric. It is an exploration in mental health, where a mind creates ghosts of the past to occupy cognitive space, to constant relive the traumatic experience, fighting with people who are no longer present. Cyanotype on paper.
inVited Guest Wall: inPrint/CONTACT - May 2 - June 30 2022 inPrint Collective, Toronto
inPrint's "Exposed: Self-Portraits in Blue" Exhibition at CONTACT Festival
The inPrint Collective offers a springtime exploration of cyanotype processes, inviting members and guest artists into their studio to produce artworks created under the theme of self-portraiture. Artists showcase experimental use including mixed-media, collage and installation-based methods, pushing the boundaries of the cyanotype process. Artists approach the theme as an exposure of various aspects of the inner self. Isolation during lockdowns in the past two years have allowed many to confront their vulnerabilities and strengths, in ways they never have before. Exposed considers the sense of self in flux but caught and constructed in this particular moment.
Featuring artist Natalia Tcherniak on the “inVited” guest wall as a companion solo exhibition.
26th Edition of Toronto 2022 Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival features over 140 exhibitions and outdoor installations by Canadian and International artists.
In Response
In response to the main exhibition, this collection of works addresses the theme of being exposed and vulnerable, and relationship between skin and leather, and being comfortable in your own skin vs someone else's. It is about relationship with your environment; your connection to places that you may not inhabit.
