Exposure. There are presently just under 1,000 2.25”x2.25” contact prints. Each day, I place a piece of black and white photo paper under the same black and white photo negative and put it in a jar. The photograph on the negative is a view of the North Atlantic from northern Iceland. The jar stays outside for 24 hours, creating a contact print on the paper, a record of each day’s light. The jar travels with me, so I make a photo of the same place, northern Iceland, wherever I go. After the contact prints are made, I run them through a fixative bath without putting them through developer so that they retain the distinctive colors they develop over 24 hours.

Installation view of Exposure. The prints are installed on a slim wall shelf, creating a horizon in the gallery. Here, the prints are installed all the way around the outside of the room, mimicking the geography of an island. 2009 - Ongoing.
