The writing and photography can be found on her blog: http://fortlaufen.blogspot.com/
and on this flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/flowerville/
And, if you were to come visit, I'd show you a few photograms that arrived in the mail yesterday. Flowerville makes the images with photographic paper, flowers, light, and then developing chemicals. It's an old process Henry Talbot practiced.
My scans aren't as good as the originals or the digital reproductions you can see at the flickr site; but they'll give you a sense for what I think is an amazing art form. Click on the photos for a larger image.

it's interesting how different they look like when scanned (or on the screen). but the scanning does something to the colour too... that of the first one, that was a lovely developer which is why they look warmish. but they stopped producing them. i am glad you like them but somehwo now i see them i realize there is still so much to improve there....
of course do books matter personally, no?
improving them might not improve them. i especially like the hand-produced qualities that feel like brushstrokes in a painting.
i wouldn't read if the sentences didn't change who i am as a person.
i mean not perfection, just doing little things here and there better... don;t worry one can never get them perfect, there will always some hand-produced quality to them...
is there anything that doesn't change who one is as a person...
have a good weekend, scott.
very cool ..... your friends and their art are cool scott...
