80 unique photograms on Kodak endura paper, card, PVA, bookcloth, foil embossed title
80 plastic cucumber wrappers were collected over a year or so, from various donors such as friends, colleagues and generous food stall holders at leather lane market in London.
Each photogram was printed amongst a gradient of fresh to rotten within the colour capacity of the pictochrom enlarger available.
A big thank you to Dot Imaging and Artful Dodgers Imaging for hosting this process.

BITS
2019
ctype hand prints made from film off-cuts, card, book cloth, acid free tape, PVA acrylic paint.
A bit can be atomic, it is the smallest unit of data in a computer. It can be a unit of information or it can be a description of a piece, like a bit of chocolate or a bit of a walk... but this is then relating to time, like saying “the film went on for a bit too long”. I could bite my lip but then if it was in the past I would say “I bit my lip”. A group of 8 bits come together to make 1 byte, and a group of 36 photographs can come together to make 1 exposed roll of 35mm film.
This is a book of bits.
With unwanted film off-cuts being caught between being packaged or binned at a photographic lab, this photo album resurges potential images, left over material that has been rescued bit by bit
