I always select work that I would like to make a collotype print with – Veronique Evrard’s works greatly attracted me with her use of paper textures and her simple expression with light and shadows. Her imagery reminds me of printmaking and collotype is, in fact, a photographic printmaking process, applying pigment inks to gelatin- coated glass plates and transferring them to paper. I believe this work would be perfect for collotype.

Bio

Veronique Evrard came to photography by chance and through encounters. At photography school and viewing the visual techniques of Agnès Varda, Evrard familiarised herself with techniques both analogue and digital. With a resolutely humanistic look, Evrard’s photographs are a combination of poetic realism tinged with both nostalgia and optimism. For Evrard the human being is the basis of everyday life and the ordinary singularity of places and people is an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
