Roses Close - Platinum Palladium print

Roses Close - Platinum Palladium printFor many years I printed my work in platinum palladium metals. Starting around 2018 I began making photogravure prints and printmaking became my main method for making prints of my work. I have been going through my flat files and finding platinum prints from this period. This print was recently on exhibition in North Carolina as part of a Click Photo installation. This still life was made using my 8x10 camera and a petzval lens from the 1800's The

I have been spending much of my time this year working on what is next and taking chances with my work as a photographer and printmaker

Thank you Rita

the bouquet lent itself well to my work in the studio this day
