Impossible Project Blog: 8 Exposures with Britta Hershman

 

A big THANK YOU to the Impossible Project!

Queen Anne's Lace

If you live in the Los Angeles area and are looking for something to do, check out 1650 Gallery's Flower Power Exhibition... and look for my photo, Queen Anne's Lace!

Sheet Music

I've been experimenting with making prints on different materials: watercolor paper, canvas, glass... and now sheet music.

For this particular print, I painted a light-sensitive liquid onto the paper and made a contact print in a darkroom. It involved a large digital negative (although the original image was taken on 35mm film), one pop of a flash, the sloshing of different chemicals in a barely-lit room, and lots of suspense. I've learned a lot by trial and error — and I love how the process makes me feel a bit like an alchemist.

Lace

I'm working a project involving dolls, lace, various fabrics, and a few other props. I've been using primarily 35mm film, but today I switched to my Polaroid camera and Impossible Project film. Here are the first results!

Dolls & Muses

I recently started working with dolls, lace, and sheet music for a project about the artist's muse. I like the idea and have continued to experiment more. Here are a few pics for now... more to come!
