Coercing colour
Native solarised unique gelatin silver paper three-day pinhole long exposure, captured with coffee can pinhole camera (Figure 1). The subject matter and size of the pinhole resulted in a flat image. The paper negative was treated with a diluted developer and solarised in an attempt to reveal and lift the image. The captured image disappeared while traces of time and place from the darkroom processes evolved (Figure 3).
