Channelling both the art of Rothko and memories of long ago. Happy. Sad.

This is a fascinating story! Dare I say, “thanks for bringing it to light?” The creativity of others never fails to amaze me – this is a prime example!

I just discovered her work a couple of days ago! I was doing research on cameraless processes, and was really taken by her work.

Wow, that's really interesting. Paper as an artist itself! Or rather, a collaboration. Giving those papers new life is so beautiful. You posted something really different here, Susanne.

I am so happy this resonates with you. I know this kind of photography isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. I love that you called it a collaboration. It really is. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!

I can almost smell the fixer. Lovely work. Shows what we’re missing by printing digitally. Makes me want to print in a darkroom again. Also the box covers are simply beautiful too. What a great project.

As far as I know it‘s in their permanent collection now, but I don‘t know if that means it‘s also on display all the time.
