Summary
From the spring of 2020 onward, I have been collecting discarded face masks from the streets..  I eventually developed a sack full of masks, which I envisioned using to create photograms. Photograms are camera less photographs created by exposing light to photo sensitive material, masked by, in this case, masks.  These unique silver halide prints were then scanned and enlarged digitally.
My goal was to present these images as markers, specimens, or detritus left behind from this global, shared experience.
