Alison Rossiter “Paper Wait”
Yossi Milo Gallery
This event has ended.
Yossi Milo Gallery presents Paper Wait, an exhibition of camera-less photographs by American artist Alison Rossiter. This is Rossiter’s second exhibition at the Gallery.
Each of the unique, hand-made photographs in Paper Wait is a relic of photographic history and reveals the echoes of times passed. Alison Rossiter activates unused, expired photographic paper by pouring or pooling liquid developer directly onto the surface, or dipping the sheets into developer. The embedded histories of these papers are then reawakened, revealing fingerprints, light leaks, oxidation or mold in the photographic emulsion. The artist’s experimental processes draw on the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and the paintings of Morris Louis, and result in painterly or geometric abstractions that illuminate the unique characteristics of each sheet of paper. This exhibition will include Rossiter’s largest works to date, and feature papers from every decade between the late 1890s and the 1960s.
