I have been making images using plants! The Phytogram method of photography (at left) developed by the artist Karel Doing uses plant chemistry instead of a camera to capture images, while Risograph printing (at right) is like a mix of screen printing and photocopying. All the leaves and flowers in these images were picked off a sidewalk after falling free from their roots. Thanks to the Echo Park Film Collective for the artist residency that allowed me to explore these techniques! Thanks also to Heavy Manners Library for making their Risograph printer so accessible!

Thanks to an artist residency hosted by the Echo Park Film Collective, I fell in love TWO new-to-me art mediums: Phytograms and Risograph printing! (Fun details in this picture’s alt text) #art #phytogram #risograph

Took a Phytogram workshop during during the pandemic that Shapeshifters Cinema in Oakland organized over Zoom. It was a fun distraction. This is plant material from our garden on 35mm film strips. How to: phytogram.blog #phytogram
