Not thrilled with these frames but I like the concept. It’s fun to take it down and fold it to see how the plate meets the paper.

At first glance, the specimens in Mandy Barker's images appear like a fragment of a leaf or a scatter of organic material, but upon closer inspection, they reveal details of unraveled polyester or scraps of nylon tights.

The image is a black-and-white photograph with a high level of grain, suggesting it was taken on very grainy film. It depicts a quiet, foggy street with patches of melting snow on the ground. Tall utility poles with power lines stretch into the distance, creating a sense of depth and leading the viewer’s eye down the road. The trees, both bare and evergreen, frame the scene, adding to the moody and atmospheric feel. The fog obscures the background, enhancing the mysterious and somewhat melancholic mood of the photograph. This is an optical print made in a darkroom from a negative shot on high-grain film
