The Australian artist Peter Solness has been experimenting with light painting for more than two decades. His rich and varied bodies of work harness the qualities of painting with light not simply as a visual effect, but as a way to reach more deeply to the heart of his subjects: to seduce the eye, focus attention, and encourage contemplation. Over the years, his practice has been defined not by a singular style, but by a continuing sense of adventure as he explores innovative ways to extend and apply his light-painting skills. His approach to the role of artist has also evolved. In recent years, his practice has increasingly involved collaboration, with projects devised to encourage others to explore and celebrate their own creativity.

So I've finally finished unpacking and tidying up my space, this is my #pinhole proof!! Exposure time 32 mins (indoors)

I tried making an Anthotype, an old technique that uses photosensitive plant pigments. I used common kitchen paprika in isopropyl alcohol, filtered through a coffee filter, and brushed onto watercolour paper. After drying in the dark, I placed three garden bird feathers on the paper, covered it with glass, and exposed it to the sun for 30 minutes. UV rays fade the pigments, but under the feathers’ they remain partially untouched. I washed the paper with water and baking soda, then rinsed it. These prints fade if exposed to light and must be stored in the dark. Some people protect them with anti-UV spray, but the best solution is to photograph or scan them and display the reproductions.
More experiments to come 😉
