Julie Moore will be in the gallery for an artist reception from 4 – 7pm.

“The images in ‘visions’ share the way I see the world, it’s soft tenderness & extravagant beauty, it’s agonizing loss & exquisite aging. I am often shown the overlooked aspects of life and nature.  By using these alternative processes, I am able to meld the present with the past. – julie moore

Poly photogravure: an alternative process that creates a positive from a photographic negative on a transparent sheet. That sheet is then contact printed onto a light sensitive plate, inked as one would in etching and put through a press.

Chine Colleé:  is a printmaking technique in which the image is transferred onto a surface that is bonded onto a heavier support in the printing process. This allows me to print on a much more delicate surface, such as washi paper.

À  La Poupée: a historic intaglio printmaking technique for making colored prints by applying different ink colors to a single plate prior to printing.

Enhanced Lumens: lumens are camera-less prints dating back to the 1830s when William Henry Fox Talbot placed foliage on sensitized paper and exposed it to sunlight. This created a negative print or a photogram from which positive contact prints could be made. Today, the process is exactly the same with the addition of image manipulation using digital technology.
