About the Item

Framed still life photograph of a pink and yellow flower on a crisp white background “Untitled 80” by Chad Kleitsch, this image is part of the artist’s “Botanical Mind” series began in 2006 Edition of 25, All editions are printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Matte Paper with Epson archival quality inks Image is 10 x 10 inches and printed on 17 x 11 inch archival paper Floated in a white painted wood frame with protective glass, 12 x 12 x 1.5 inches total Print is made to order and also additional sizes. Scanography Artist Statement: I began using a scanner as a camera in 1997 while living at a Zen monastery and began this botanical series in 2001. Using the scanner as the camera, is a rediscovery of image making. It's reminiscent or mirrors, in both process and aesthetics, the historic images of those first photograms and cyanotypes. Compare it with William Henry Fox Talbot’s 1840 photogram of a Byron poem or the cyanotypes of Anna Atkins. (see below) This photographic process has grown in use over the past decade and a half and has been dubbed “scanography”. It’s most prevalent use is in the recording of botanical objects, which to me is not surprising. For some primordial reason when a new image making process or technique is created we innocently throw nature onto its surface, as some kind of ongoing test. Perhaps looking to see if it can match our own perceptual abilities and/or move beyond it. Scanography, to my estimation has come the closest to fulfilling this goal. To create these images, I use the digital flatbed scanner as a camera and treat the objects as if it were film. In some images (the white background) the object is backlit during the scanning process just as a sheet of film or a slide would be. What results is a translucent image of the object. Something similar to the experience of viewing stain glass windows. To articulate the detail, character, and topography of each individual subject, Rather than a still life or a photographic documentation, through this process, are transformed into portraits. In a sense it depicts their humanity. CK 2012 ​“Botanical Mind” Artist Statement: ​ "Spring is in the frozen branches, buried beneath three feet of snow." Dogen Zenji, 13th Century ​ Many years ago I lived near a very large garden. I would see them all in their unique stages of life. They were always open, innocent and beautiful. These are portraits of beings whose life is brief and whose silence and perfection are wondrous. ​ CK 2004 ​
