Mixed Media: None | This photo was a lot of fun to develop. I exposed regular black-and-white photo paper to a negative of my own face, but rather than developing it in the normal way, I dripped photo developer across the paper to create lines and squiggles where the developer touched the paper and negative white space where no developer could reach. Some of the areas developed a bit longer and therefore have darker and sharper contrast whereas other areas are slightly under developed in order to create trippy illusion. All of this was done in the dark room, so no additional edits were needed digitally.
