I am making images on photographic paper without using a negative. These include painting with bleach on blackened paper and building piles of glass and eggshells to expose with a flashlight. I paint medicines, spices and cleaners onto photopaper. I use glue as a resist and dig down to the photo paper surface with developers and fix, creating an image on paper. I developed these processes and use them to make a series of giant (50 x 111 inch) images of circles and spheres, representing planets and atoms, visualizing the macrocosm and the microcosm of life as we know it.
