Fractographs Codex

The third chapter of my "Vitrea Fracta" series, examining the semiotics of force.

Note: These images are based on photograms of broken glass. The broken glass was exposed on a large format negative, for hand-made reproduction using alternative/historical chemistry and processes. The text in the codex was produced on  a manual typewriter. Each codex chapter has several, individually printed, 'variant' versions, using different contact printing processes (e.g. cyanotype, silver gelatin, gum bichromate). The version uploaded to this site is just one example of the codex chapter. Finally, all the glass used in making the photogram plates will be preserved and repurposed for a sculpture that will accompany this codex series.
