This piece was inspired by the song "Lost at Sea" by Lana Del Rey and Rob Grant. This series showcases how objects and places remain constant throughout time, while the people that use them come and go like memories. A double exposure technique is used to create the ethereal images in the Memories series. Paige uses authentic cameras from the 1800s, and all images are captured using the wet collodion method of photography. The Wet Collodion Method or "tintype process" began in the 1860s, and is one of the oldest forms of photography in the world. The enlargement is made from an 8" x 10" tintype plate. For a detailed explanation of the process please visit: https://www.paigewhitcomb.com/the-process. An archival film scan of the in-camera plate is created, which allows for the possibility of an enlargement. Enlargements are the combination of historic methods of photography intertwined with 21st century photographic methods. To keep all of Paige's photographs true to the historic process, all images are singular editions with no copies available. Each enlargement comes with the in camera 8" x 10" tintype that the image was enlarged from. The 20" x 26" tintype comes with the original 8" x 10" plate. The artwork is back mounted and ready to hang. It also comes with a French cleat for quick and easy hanging. This piece weighs approximately 5 pounds.
