From a recent review: "Rossiter has an extensive collection of expired photographic papers from the early 20th century through the 1980s. Using limited darkroom techniques, Rossiter creates minimalist photograms referencing landscape and geometry while revealing the subtle chemical and environmental traces the paper has accumulated during its decades in storage. Her work increasingly employs multiple sheets of paper assembled into grids." Photographs of or additional information about this item are available on request. All inquiries answered promptly.
