Orochrome is my workshop for analogue photographic experiments: orotones on glass, carbon transfer, calotypes on washi, and other processes that were almost lost when photography went digital. I make objects that change as you move around them — gold and silver catching light, layered images revealing themselves over time.
With my orotones and prints I produce digital files. These bring a new life to glass and paper which I can share with you using Extended Reality techniques. This site offers those traditional images in a few selected digital editions.

VIEW THIS WORKIn 1961 I worked on the first silicon computers. Each transistor was in a small TO18 can — not much smaller than a CPU today, just one switch. Today an M4 chip holds 24 billion transistors. I can imagine etching billions of chips onto fumed silica suspended in a magnetite matrix — a "photograph" becomes an object with weight, texture and surface, something a blind person can read with their fingertips.
The distance between those two moments is not a career. It is a single, unbroken question about what light pressed into matter can mean.
I am working on a new concept for both showing my images and also, perhaps, discovering how to find new spaces - have a look at TesserFract.com
