The gum bichromate photographic printing process originated in the 19th century, giving way to silver-gelatin printing once the pictorialist movement faded away. The process involves photographically printing translucent coats of watercolor pigment on top of one another, combining continuous tone with the layering of silkscreen. It is possible to print full color – cyan, magenta, and yellow, and possibly other hues – using this method, though multiple layers make gum printing a heavily technical enterprise. This project let me think about color in a painterly way, and about color-correcting photographs as one would add hues to a watercolor. The tints speak to a color palette that I have come to enjoy.
