Brian Buckley: PHOTOGRAM
Brian Buckley creates abstract light drawings with Polaroid type 809
color film, often a product of multiple exposures. After arranging
various-sized glass filters or other organic material on the surface of
the film in complete darkness, he then exposes it to light and processes
the film. The results are a blend of soft shapes and luminescent colors
which move across the surface of the print with depth and fluidity.
