I’ve been waiting for weeks for this stubborn geranium emulsion to shift in colour in these anthotypes exposing on the window sill.

Sweet nectar - an online exhibition of photo-media works with grevillea blooms. www.michelleculpitt.com

One of the things I like about grevillea is its sweet nectar, walking in the bush I pick a flower and put it in my water bottle to make cordial. l can also use it to make handmade photographs.

This wee video is of me developing a common ivy anthotype (flower print) photogram in nipaluna, Hobart. Such a lovely baby blue and had had a little fizz at the sun before it settled. Now it needs to be kept in the dark as there is no photographic fixative to the process.

This guy is always in bloom. Exploring the female gaze with my high masc friend 💐🩷 general viewing version.

Keep calm and make Kallitypes! In the darkroom on the weekend with photography guru Ellie Young at Gold Street Studios in country Victoria, Australia. Started a series on marks left by women in carceral and other institutions for exhibition in March. Tonal range shift from developers… ‘Her X mark.’

10 + years making anthotype (flower print) photograms from Darwin to Newbliss, Reykjavik to Maningrida, Country Victoria, Melbourne and Hobart! Using weeds and native flora, the reactions in plant based light sensitive emulsion to UV over minutes, hours, days, weeks is always surprising #anthotype

His head is in the clouds, ‘exposure therapy,’ study… #YellowWallpaper

I see myself in this work. Yayoi Kusama and the exhibition of a million selfies coming soon to the National Gallery of Victoria international.

Luxury item begging for a comeback…

I thought I had received the so-called Kiss of Judas quite a few times, but it was not as soft as this, must have been something else? National Gallery of Victoria International

Fell in love with this bear 🐻 yesterday the National Gallery of Victoria yesterday. I’m not sure whether he is fighting, loving, saving or playing with the dog 🐶 It’s a bear eat dog world?

Still playing around with watercolour and mixed mediums at the Victorian Artists Society. Work on the left is by the teacher, Lucy Maddox… trying to channel artist energies of the site 👻

There is an Art School on Eastern Hill in Melbourne. It’s called the Victorian Artist Society and has had artists painting and making there since 1870. A watercolour bear / lion teddy posing this week. Next week? #watercolour #artschool
