Lecture with Mark Osterman and France Scully Osterman
The Light At Lacock, Sun Sketches at the Twilight of Photography
Thursday, 3 November, 7pm
$5 Public / All Members free
Mark Osterman and France Scully Osterman will discuss their new work using paper negatives they created at the birthplace of the photographic negative in Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire, England. Using William Henry Fox Talbot’s original process of photogenic drawing and his earliest camera designs, the Ostermans trod the same ground as the inventor and revisit the miracle of the first chemical sketches made by nature alone.
Limitations of the early process and an inclement climate eventually guided the Ostermans to concentrate on photographing the effect of light that surrounds a subject rather than that which illuminates it. The results are painterly and also fugitive. As in Talbot’s time, the same light that created these images also destroys them. And so, it is only by the ironic marriage of the digital pigment print that now displaces photography that these colorful sun sketches can be exhibited for the first time.
