Gilded Photography is Photography Églomisé“Verre Églomisé” is a pre-Roman art form where the image is painted in reverse on glass, then the surface gilded or silvered. “Photography Églomisé” uses a transparency film instead of glass and uses a photograph instead of a painting, but otherwise, the process is the same–gold or silver leaf is applied to the back. My frames are gold or silver Italian Roma wood frames of the highest quality and all framing is done to museum standards. The result is an elegant and unique work of art.
Sandy lives in Eugene, Oregon. She is happily married to her Shakespeare scholar husband, Peter, and they are ruled by two cats in a house not too far from the Willamette River. She is an avid hiker and backpacker as well as a passionate home cook. Her favorite city is Paris.
“I am interested in photographing those dreamlike moments between worlds; the hour before dark, windows that open into mysterious or suggestive interiors; the shore between sea and land—moments where one world somehow comes to an end and flows into something new.
In my photography, I attempt to make things look as if they were imbued with a dramatic underlying force. I photograph to discover traces of the luminous fingerprints of the divine.
Photography takes me out of my head and into the world of light and shadow, form and composition.
I seek source imagery–those images that for me are emerging from some fresh well of dreams. To seek source imagery is to surface my most forgotten images and to express them in my art. I use blur, double exposure, tintype, gilded vellum, brushed aluminum and other methods that suggest memory, dream, and reflection. To surface and express source imagery is my challenge, and that is my journey now.”
