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.
