LECTURE ONE
ALTERNATIVE IMAGE MAKING PROCESSES
Lecturer: Hannah Fletcher
LECTURE ONE
In this lecture, Hannah will discuss ways in which images can be made by and held within non conventional substrates, byproducts and organic materials. The session will encourage research and experimentation using organic techniques and processes that have recently been tested in the experimental photography circuit to see if it is possible to transfer these to the medium of film. Processes in which characteristics of a certain plant or fungi can be utilised in the image making, such as spore printing, anthotypes, chlorophyll printing and soil chromatography. This topic is dedicated to direct film, a method in which the artist works directly on the surface of a piece of film, using the base as a carrier of images.

Lecturer: Hannah Fletcher is a London based artist, working with cameraless photographic processes, initiator of The Sustainable Darkroom, Co-director of London Alternative Photography Collective and a facilitator of sustainability within the arts. Hannah Fletcher’s work intertwines organic matter such as soils, algae, mushrooms and roots into analogue photographic mediums and surfaces. She does this while simultaneously exploring environmentally and ecologically-focused issues. Working in an investigative, pseudo scientific and environmentally conscious manner, Hannah combines scientific techniques with photographic processes, creating a dialogue between the poetic and political.
