HOMAGE ARTIST STATEMENT

These handmade negatives are compositions created on a microscopic scale.  The negatives are placed into a darkroom enlarger, traditionally printed on silver gelatin paper and hand-toned and painted to create a of-of-kind work of art.  Paying “homage” to the artists before him, Benjamin Timpson highlights historical artists that have impacted the history of art and inspired him (and others) through photography, sculpture, and painting.
