James Gilberd will be showing some photograms in Room 3, with Denise's prints. Photograms are made in the darkroom by placing objects on light-sensitive photographic paper and shining a light down onto them, then developing the paper.

This series is called 'Mandala'. The individual photograms were exposed to light for 88 seconds and are a limited edition of 16 prints, $88 each. The negative prints (black on white) are made by contact-printing from a positive print, and are part of the same series of 16 prints, maximum.

Just to clear it up, these photograms are not made from doilies! Actually, the object used was an ornate silver dish found in an opp shop and bought for a dollar.

In addition, there is a set of recent colour digital photos entitled 'Mystery box'. , displayed in the office. This work is along similar lines to James Gilberd's previous exhibition 'A coffee break' - see review on PhotoForum NZ's site.
