Self-Developed Analogue

I began the process of developing black and white analogue film in July 2018 and colour analogue film in August 2020. Using a film developing kit in my bathroom, I’m interested in inviting imperfection and unpredictability into the image-making process, allowing the materiality of the film to coexist with the photographic image.

I also deliberately soak the film rolls in various fluids causing the film material to degrade, but allowing part of the captured image to endure and bleed through the decay, all the time experimenting with how I can intervene with the material.
