Chemigrams

Chemigram 

What is a Chemigram?

Chemigrams were invented in the 1950s by Belgian artist Pierre Cordier. Chemigrams are an experimental art where a photographic image is made by painting on a light-sensitive paper. In most if not all cases of my chemigrams, I have used photographic paper for the images. 


Here I have scanned in the images I created in the dark room with certain foods.
I used a wide range of food items ranging from hairspray to mayonnaise. All the different foods created a different effect on the photographic paper so all of them came out different to each other. I placed the items on the paper and create the image. 

The images haven't come out too sharp and therefore I didn't feel like the outcome was as good as hoped. 


Here is the result:

THESE ARE MY IMAGES
