Best of Light Sensitive 2012

In March of 2012, Art Intersection showed the work of 44 photographers in the annual exhibition Light Sensitive, a national juried exhibition of analog photography prints of which all prints are produced in a wet darkroom.

Dr. Rebecca Senf, Norton Family Curator from the Center for Creative Photography, selected the work from over 200 entries.

Three photographers were chosen from Light Sensitive to exhibit in our East Gallery, giving them the opportunity to show a larger body of work. All three photographers use labor-intensive historical photographic processes whose origins date back to the 19th-century. Christina Z. Anderson’s prints are created, layer-by-layer, in milk protein (casein) and colored with historic watercolor pigments. Michael T. Puff and Bryan David Griffith both use the platinum/palladium printing process using precious metals as the light sensitive component. Each piece is created by hand, requiring extensive materials and expertise to achieve one final print.

In addition to laborious technical challenges, there exists a harmonious balance of content and form, bringing the viewer along as a willing participant in the understanding of each artist’s intent.
