Description

To make this photogram, Rose layered objects on photographic paper: chains, safety pins, buttons, and more. In the top left corner, there is a small image created through the gestural process of “light painting,” which involved blocking exposure during the shot with an instrument that acted like a painter’s brush.

-Teddy Cavanagh, Woodmere Intern 2020
