What you see in this body of work is a totally new direction for me.  I've been photographing exclusively in digital media for about 5 years now. The instantaneous nature of digital work is appealing and satisfying. That said, having learned photography in a conventional darkroom, I yearned to somehow get my hands "back on the prints” and experience that feeling of surprise and wonder that only comes from watching an image develop in a tray and the experience of how each print might be different based on temperature, developer mix etc. So I recently began experimenting with a new process to provide me a proxy for the darkroom experience: Hand washing of my digital prints. To create a unique image, I soak and wring the paper in warm water until it softens. I then dry and iron the print, which due to the unique paper/ink combination and the conditions under which it was washed produce a one of a kind image that has almost zero probability of duplication. (Note: The images shown here are photos of actual prints, none of which will be identical after washing.  So please know that each and every print will vary in effect.)
