Chemigrams are an experimental art form made by chemically manipulating light-sensitive paper. These were made using a variety of resists that include common kitchen and household items such as eggs, butter, jelly, cooking spray, sunscreen, dish soap, and tape. The resists are applied to the paper while the paper is being exposed to light and then moved back and forth between developer and fix until the desired result is achieved.
The JSU Photo Club, including yours truly, is hosting a Chemigram workshop on Friday, February 21st. Chemigrams are experimental images created by applying resists and painting chemicals onto light-sensitive paper. Space and supplies are limited so sign up here to reserve your spot. Location: Carlisle Fine Arts Facility, Room 116 Here's a good article for those of you that would like to study up before the workshop. Alternative Photography // The Chemigram by Christina Z.

I'm excited to share that my #metoo series was selected as a top 50 finalist out of 700 entries in the international Hahnemühle Student Photo Competition entitled Show Us Your Series.

As an added bonus my work and that of the other finalists was [...]
Alt. Process This collection of work features images created through alternative photographic processes (non-silver gelatin) in the Alternative Processes in Photography class.

Process class, and it was a really good experience. Collecting work for the exhibit was a bit of a challenge so the show ended up being mostly my work, but also included several pieces by Abigail Read, Morgan Worsham, and Evan Thomas. Work [...]
Calhoun County Community Art Show Hammond Gallery | Jacksonville State University August 27th - September 17th, 2019 Reception: August 27th, 5-7 PM Artist Statement Cyanotypes get their name from the signature blue hue of the developed prints. This dreamy blue photographic process is achieved by coating a receptive surface with a mixture of ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide, and then exposing that surface to UV light. These two prints were created by hand coating cyanotype chemistry onto paper, carefully positioning subject matter on the coated surfaces, exposing each to light, and then developing the prints in water [...]
