Upon my initial encounter with the scanned glass negative plates from the collection, I was struck by a sense of awe and wonder. The balanced compositions that I discovered in the negatives were unexpected and captivating. I was amazed by the contemporary aesthetic of these images, and felt incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon such a treasure trove of visual inspiration.

As I delved deeper into my research, I was further amazed by the intricate patterns that humidity had etched into each individual plate. Through the process of scaling and isolating certain elements, I discovered a rich and fascinating world of shapes and tones that, when combined, create truly unique compositions. Each plate is a testament to the passage of time and the beauty of natural decay, which has resulted in a series of one-of-a-kind artworks.
