About the Item
Further to Fly is a series of Wet Plate Collodion Photograms that continues in my practice of using drawings on mylar layered with light-sensitive materials in the darkroom to create imagined landscapes. The illustrations used in the series are based on reference shots I took in Palm Springs while my dad was terminally ill and hospitalized after an unexpected sickness took hold while he was on vacation. When I first began creating the illustrations, I was drawn to the idea of a memento mori and began researching historical photography processes used to make an impression of a loved one after death. The wet plate collodion (or tintype) process appealed to me the most and I could imagine how to use my drawings in the process. On a personal level, the resulting images serve as a memorial to my father and the final days we had together. However, the scenes pictured are familiar in a universal way; varying from desolate to urban and showing the shifting nature of the landscape through both human influence and geologic time.

Vanessa Marsh
Vanessa Marsh is a photographer living and working in Oakland, CA. Marsh makes her images by first creating drawings on clear mylar. These drawings are then laid on top of light-sensitive paper in the darkroom and then the paper is exposed to light. For images with layered landscapes, multiple drawings are placed on the paper which is then exposed at intervals, and a drawing is removed at the end of each interval. The stars are created by exposing the paper to light through a mask with small holes poked into it. The darkroom aspect of the process creates a photogram negative, which she then scans and inverts into a positive image digitally. The final images are pigment prints on archival rag paper.
