About this Artwork

To create the images Webber stretches and layers thread on a pre-cut frame. The resulting images are made by laying this “plate” onto black and white photographic paper in the darkroom. The photograms are printed in editions of five, with variations.

The imagery is built up using layers of thread, to create rhythmic, intuitive compositions, which offer tension between the organic and rectilinear. They suggest macro and micro views of nature, or of the man made.

This piece began with a measured grid formation, which was stretched, and loosened. During the exposure time in the darkroom, threads repositioned themselves to create unique chance-based images. 

This is 1/5. Each print will be slightly different as the threads on the plate move.
