About the Item

Cameraless – A cameraless image is produced on photographic material without the aid of a camera or lenses. Chemigram – A Chemigram, from "chemistry" and gramma – Greek for "things written," is a photographic practice where an image is made by painting with chemicals directly on light-sensitive paper. In LIGHT + METAL, both artists pre-coat the paper in varnish to prevent chemical action, subsequently scraping away at layers of the varnish to allow areas of the paper to develop. Chemigrams were invented in the 1950s by Belgian artist Pierre Cordier.

    By Kimberly Schneider Photography
    Located in New York, NY
    "Within Reach" - Unique silver gelatin print (mixed process photogram); Made with ice, flowers, sand, glitter, and more. BRAND NEW, printed on Fomatone MG 133, a beautiful, slightly textured chamois paper, in April 2023. [This one-of-a-kind black-and-white photograph is a slightly weird size, as it was made with a sheet of paper that had previously been cut for a test strip. The width is actually 8 1/16"] After falling into photography by way of eastern religions a lifetime ago, the latter quickly found its way into my work, and never left. I think of both my (covid-born) cameraless photographs and my film-based silver gelatin prints as subconscious self-portraits or spiritual landscapes...
