Collodion work
Frederick Scott Archer invented wet plate photography in 1851. Compared to today’s streamlined image-making, it is a finicky and restrictive process. However, it lends itself to the craftsmanship of the maker and encourages a deep contemplation of the subject. Every image is shaped by the conditions at the moment of creation, requiring patience, attention, and a steady hand. It’s a challenge I enjoy—one I will likely never fully master.
I construct still life scenes that reflect my evolving perspective on memory—how distant recollections shift with age. Through Archer’s process, I bring these memories to light, embracing both their fragility and their permanence.
