A chemigram is an experimental technique where an image is made by painting, dripping or submerging light-sensitive paper in chemicals. I use conventional photographic chemicals - developer, fixer and stop - applied in the wrong order.
The moon is created by placing a cylindrical object on the paper and exposing it to daylight. The paper remains white underneath the object where it has been obscured from the light.
Then I begin the process of submerging the paper into different chemicals, sometimes only partially, and for different amounts of time.
It is an unpredictable and exciting process that leaves a lot down to chance.
