In 2017 I discovered amongst my darkroom materials an old box of 5x4” duplicating film.

I had enjoyed using gold leaf in my golden moments series and thought it would work well against the base colour of this unprocessed film.

​

This set of works further explore the allure of a sunset and allowed me to move in a more painterly direction but still include an element from the darkroom. This time the landscape has more solidity with dark gritty foreground (black acrylic & cement) contrasting shimmering gold on a dusky sky.

​

I wonder now if some of these are more like raging apocalyptic wild fires than sunsets.

I don’t really mind either way.

​

This series is ongoing and will continue until the box of film runs out.
