Artist Finds and Develops Ancient Photo Paper, Some Older Than a Century
Using expired film is pretty common among analog photographers, but have you heard of anyone using expired photo paper… from over a century ago? That’s what artist Alison Rossiter does. For her project “Lost and Found”, she collected hundreds of sheets of expired photo paper from decades past — some more than 100 years older than the expiration date found on their packages — and then developed them to uncover abstract images.
You can find a large selection of Rossiter’s work over at the website of the Stephen Bulger Gallery, where the work is being exhibited.
