some great prints, yet another creative rabbit whole for me to consider going down. I think the print from the 23 yr old X-ray film is my favourite but the nebula runs it close. Ingrid Budge @ingridbudge2101 (IG) does some beautiful chemigram landscapes/
Pierre Cordier’s experiments are legendary. I used to love collecting abandoned student prints and test strips after a few weeks to see what amazing chemigrams had developed. It’s the chance element that is so captivating I think.
Very interesting results. Have you seen Sugimoto’s Lightning Fields? I saw a show of them, and given the completely random outcomes, I have no idea how many he did before he had some to show, but really interesting the various cameraless images! Thank you for a great post!
Thanks Jordan, I did like your post about the alterations to photographs. I haven't bad time to check out any other articles yet.

I still have a couple of boxes of that ‘slide off’ emulsion, I will send you some.
Works really well with home made green developer too, along with various household resists - oils, creams and other emulsions.
I hadn't thought of resists.

Looks like such fun and love the abstract images that can result!
I love making chemigrams, just thought about making some yesterday. The x-ray film experiment is spectacular! Thank you for sharing!
And yes, check out Pierre Cordier! Or Alison Rossiter. Completely different but amazing…

I don't know of that work at all, I shall have to do some research.
I love these Andrew - I imagine you could apply the chemicals with a brush to create designs too. It certainly looks like fun.
