Kris Johnson – Mordancage Images: “To Which we Return”

Kris Johnson is well known to the Photographic Society of Northwest Arkansas, and has recently returned from achievement of his MFA at the Indiana University.

“To Which We Return” is a body of work examining fear and mortality. The series makes use of an alternative darkroom photographic process known as Mordancage to alter black and white self-portraits. The Mordancage process degrades and disrupts photographic materials through a chemical process of decay and destruction. Cracked surfaces and veils of the photographic emulsion dislodge during the process, making each photograph entirely unique.

PSNWA is pleased to be returning the Distinguished Photographer Series to the Shiloh Museum’s Meeting Hall, for an in person-and-online-event through the ZOHO web meeting channel.
