Perfect Imperfect #3

Perfect Imperfect #3 is a mosaic of 9 Wet Plate Collodion photograms each measuring 12.7 x 10.26 cms. The process involves the use of the historical wet plate collodion process first invented in the late 1800's. Each plate is hand coated with an emulsion of collodion infused with iodides and bromides, sensitized in a bath of silver nitrate and then exposed to light, while still wet,before being developed, rinsed, fixed and washed.The final step is to varnish each plate.
