Initially started from an accidental double exposure (Heliograph #1), this body of work explores the sun’s path through multiple exposure—combining times of day, different locations and even seasons (winter onto summer) directly in camera onto paper negatives. Slowly drawing compositions with time, abstractions are created while still maintaining elements of representational landscape photography. These are titled Heliographs, with a nod to the meaning of the word and how they were created, but the process remains traditional black and white gelatin silver paper negatives, not the Niepce process with silver and asphalt varnish, nor referencing the mirrored signaling device.
