In this video, I take you behind the scenes as I create a new wet plate collodion plate for my Pictorial Whispers memorial project, Stages of Becoming.
Next, I will complete the artist’s story to provide deeper insight into the backstory of this new plate and the motivations behind its creation. I will also disclose the hidden messages embedded within the artwork. Once the plate is dried and photographed and the artist’s story is finalized, I will make it available for you to view. Stay tuned for the unveiling of this deeply personal piece.
