ABOUT RESISTOR/CAPACITOR SERIES
(All images have been created in the darkroom and transferred onto 20x24 sheets of reflective metal, creating an ethereal illumination when light hits the surface of the work.)
Growing up out in the country comes with strange eccentricities like having deer spotters’ bright headlights shine into our yards and windows; our lives. The abrasive lights catch deer, as well as people, doing what they do in their natural habitats. The light freezes us in time and the spotters make judgments about what they see. Too often, these judgments are made blindly with little perspective.
My journey through motherhood has illuminated the primal voice inside. My Resistor/Capacitor Series is an illustrative narration, through collage and darkroom photography, of my inner dialogue and the disconnect between our inherent animal instincts and learned social niceties. We are hard-wired with instincts. In electric circuitry, a capacitor embraces and holds. A resistor introduces resistance into an electric circuit. To be a capacitor, in my series, means that animal instincts are validated by honoring and trusting in them.
My process requires little digital work and is very much hands on. I cut and paste interesting and meaningful materials like butterfly wings, hair, teeth, breast pump tubing, raw egg yolk, oil, as well as other found scrap items onto a plate of glass furnished with a transparency of human forms in order to create a new and unusual environment.
Replacing the wire-wound voltage-dividing resistor: Usually one or more of the sections is defective. If you're smart enough, you can calculate what wattage is needed for the replacement. But even some smart people just use 5-watt resistors. Here I've mounted them on a new terminal strip and positioned them to put a heat-transferring surface against the chassis (but that's probably unneccessary).

To allow for lower resistance values in high-reliability applications, Vishay has extended the resistance range of its E/H MIL-PRF-55342-qualified thin film resistor chips in the compact 2208, 2010, and 2512 case sizes down to 49.9 Ω at ± 25 ppm/°C TCR and a 0.1 % tolerance, and 10 Ω at a 1.0 % tolerance.
