NEGATIVE: A new collection of images by Los Angeles photographer Christine Caldwell offers a twist on the classic darkroom technique. |

Christine Caldwell's 'Illuminated Negatives'
at Gallery 618E at the Brewery
August 24, 2008
FLORA HAS found a way to flourish in the dark -- a darkroom, to be
exact. Los Angeles-based commercial photographer Christine Caldwell has
been working on a new twist on an old technique that converts
photographic subject matter into negatives, and thus a new, more
colorful version. The leafy images can be seen in her first fine art
show, "Illuminated Negatives," at Gallery 618E at the Brewery in Los
Angeles.
Her
chosen specialty is botanical specimens, mainly leaves and flowers. The
process exposes vibrant lilac and blue hues that pop against the
pitch-black background as if backlighted, creating an almost
psychedelic effect.
"I've always loved the outdoors and am
attracted to the visual composition and contrast of leaves, snowflakes
and plants," said Caldwell of her source of inspiration, "so I brought
them into the darkroom to experiment."
The images are an updated version of the classic photogram,
which is similar to an X-ray. A shadow-like photograph is made by
placing objects between light-sensitive paper and a light source. Once
the objects are removed from the paper, that particular arrangement
vanishes, creating a one-of-a-kind print. The roots of the photogram
process can be traced to the mid-1800s, reaching popularity in
post-World War I artist communities in Europe.
Twenty-four limited-edition prints will be on display through Sept. 6.
