The Chemigram process occupies a space somewhere between painting and photography.Discover how to work with chance and observation to create unexpected and magical images using everyday household materials such as honey, butter or oil, in combination with light sensitive photographic paper. The approach to image making can be as minimal or as intricate as you like. In this workshop we will be using Plant Developers which are less toxic option compared to the ordinary photographic developer.Workshop Structure: The workshop will begin by introducing you to the historical background of Chemigram with different examples of works as inspiration. After the demonstration, it&#x27;s your turn to explore the process yourself.We will end the workshop by reviewing everyone&#x27;s work.Notes: This workshop uses some photographic chemistry. However, in an attempt to make the process less toxic we will be replacing the normal photographic developer with plant based developers.All materials including disposable gloves and tongs are provided.If you prefer to wear an apron please bring one along with you.About: I am a London based Japanese artist working with a variety of photographic processes, moving image and installations. The transformative quality of the different photographic processes fascinates me as it allows me to make associations and explore memory and imagination.
