A photographic series that was developed in response to issues with the medium of photography, the Palimpsest series are documents of private performances. The analog prints use both found and my own negatives, layered and exposed individually, to paint with photography in a traditional color darkroom. Burned and dodged by hand and with the physicality of my body, the unique single editions address historical sediment and possess a certain spiritualism that transcends the limitations of the photographic medium. All printed analog and with film negatives, 16x20 and 30x40.
