More experimental adventures in the colour darkroom using camera-less photography and my bacteria infested petri dishes. This is a four piece image of four 10 by 8″ prints.

The ideas around my personal manifestobegan from my obsession with collectingphotographs of lost gloves abandoned on the floor. I have expanded from this throughout this manifesto with ideas of tracking, surveillance and forensics being my inspiration. My work starts by col- lecting personal items off the city floor. I then took bacterial swabs from them and grew the bacteria from each object in a petri dish. It was important to me that these items must be personal, something the owner would miss, gloves, hats, jewellery, for example. The petri dishes were my medium which I then created images from. Constricting myself to camera-less photography you will see the results I have achieved and which are still in progress throughout this manifesto. (Taken from my manifesto blurb)
