The Other Side

Collaborative Group Project

18.10.2024 – 9.11.2024

The Other Side explores themes of beauty and mystery through the material process of camera-less photography and abstract mark-marking.

This exhibition showcases collaborative work from participants of a recent Chemigram workshop run by artist Simone Darcy.

Chemigrams are created by forcing a chemical reaction between photographic paper and photographic chemistry. Resistant household materials (such as wax, Vaseline, nail polish, oil, etc.) are painted, scratched and sprayed onto the paper and then submerged into chemical trays to form patterns and marks resembling celestial dark matter.

This project is supported by Lightwave Festival and Moonah Arts Centre.
