AGAC members had the special
opportunity to visit Paulson Bott Press. There they saw the facility and equipment,
observed printmaking, and had discussion with artist Christopher Brown about his
approach to printmaking. Here is a link to more photos. |
Elizabeth Opalenik and Mordancage Photography
Members were
given the rare privilege to see Elizabeth Opalenik demonstrate the Mordancage technique.
Mordancçge involves chemically altering and lifting the image off a silver gelatin print.
Ms. Opalenik employs and supplements the Mordançage process with handpainting, toning,
and other diverse transfer processes to create unique images that convey, in her words, “not
only what is visible to the eye, but also sensed with the heart.”
