Brittany Nelson: Science!

The artist with her work, from her website.

When I was attending SPESE 2014, hosted by East Carolina University, I saw a lecture that was simply called "Science!" and knew I had to attend.

The artist was Brittany Nelson, and her work captivated me. She does non-representational photochemical work, creating chemigrams and mordançage images that include a wide array of chemicals from the history of photography. At her lecture, she spoke with great passion about her work and the exploration of photochemistry not only as a medium, but a subject matter. I was able to ask several questions and get some valuable insight. She continues to be a big inspiration for me, and a reminder that my kind of work can and does succeed.

Here's a lovely article about her. And here's her website.
