In conjunction with the exhibition, Sorry, No Pictures, Meggan Gould will give a free anthotype demonstration Saturday, December 2, from 1pm-4pm. Gould will demo the basics of the process, in which photo-sensitive emulsions are made from plants and exposed in the sun. All necessary materials and equipment will be available for free on site. This activity is best suited for artists 7+ years old; minors must be accompanied by an adult.
Free and open to the public. RSVP required. Please email info@auroraphoto.org to RSVP and with any questions.
Gould has worked extensively in anthotype in her series, Happy Time. The series refers to the marketing practice of positioning the hands of a clock at 10 and 2, roughly in the shape of a smile; the series raises concerns about issues of sustainability in the medium. After the demo, participants will have a chance to view Gould’s exhibition, which includes a grid of anthotypes from Happy Time.
