Aetheric Engineering
After years of working in this style I have only recently come to realize the heavy influence of the pictorialists. My favorite pictorialist is William Mortensen(WM), but that's likely because I'm a little uncertain as to who was most influential in the movement.
The new art is based on refinements I've made to my process after gaining a better understanding of WM's own process. He worked primarily in B&W, but liked the gum-bichromate processes too. For these, I took the ideas and techniques and moved them into my own color-space. I love the subtly and grace of where this approach leads me.
