Fire and Snow - Photograms for Mordançage

I have returned to the darkroom this winter, a veritable cave for cold weather creativity. I am beginning the exploratory image-making process for what will eventually be Callisto, a film dealing with the Moon, the subconscious and the fears of women. These images began as snowy scenery over which I would later superimpose my silhouette video.

Eventually, inspired by the large number of fire signs i have become friends with in Nebraska, I found myself creating an homage to flames in photogram. These sporadic swaths of light are made with sand, plexiglass, and the broken beer bottles from the walkway outside of Husker stadium.
