New Cliche Verre, gelatin-silver prints

These contact prints are made from glass negatives which have been drawn and painted on, and stacked with internegatives and built-up imagery. After the completion of the glass plates, Diane Kreiter takes over and makes the gelatin-silver contact prints in her darkroom. We proof the prints and Diane makes exposure adjustments to bring them to the finished state.
