1953 Was a good year. It was the year that inspired the birth of these
images. The 1953 Series was created using the Chemigram Process,
a process whereby silver gelatin printing paper is coated with a
resist, then processed using traditional darkroom chemistry. The
resulting photograph is abstract, and the organic nature of these
prints replicates the process of giving birth. That is, the flaws and
quirks that develop in these images are much like those that may
be appear in a growing child — each has their own personality
and individual characteristics.
Note: The images on the following pages have been digitally
reproduced from their original unique print state, measuring
10 × 8 inches.
