Embracing Landscapes in Kallitype
The Kallitype process was begun in 1842. The use of Kallitype printing deepens the connection to history and the presence of wild lands across time. The hand painted process creates small defects and imperfections in the print that have been left to describe evidence of an older time as well as the rough rugged feel of wild lands. The Kallitype print has an earthy brown hue that references the earth and they appear in the series as if they are old photographs. The photographic windows presented are portals into nature that allow the viewer the opportunity to step into these wild places and establish their own bond with the natural world.
