"Conceptual abstraction par excellence" - The New York Times Divided into sections that represent the breadth of Alison Rossiter's (born 1953) process and vision, Expired Paper offers a comprehensive look at the artist's body of cameraless photo-art-- Latent, Landscapes, Pools, Pours, Dips, Blurs, Fours and Collages . Art critic Leah Ollman has been contemplating Rossiter's work for years, and her accompanying text serves as an ideal complement to the images: "All of the works pay homage to the rich idiosyncrasies of photographic papers across history, and restore a sanctity to the photograph as object. Made without cameras, lenses or film, the works are nothing but process and materiality." The book also includes a selection of early 20th-century photographic paper packages (which the artist has collected for over 10 years) in a separate booklet.

From a recent review: "Rossiter has an extensive collection of expired photographic papers from the early 20th century through the 1980s. Using limited darkroom techniques, Rossiter creates minimalist photograms referencing landscape and geometry while revealing the subtle chemical and environmental traces the paper has accumulated during its decades in storage. Her work increasingly employs multiple sheets of paper assembled into grids." Photographs of or additional information about this item are available on request. All inquiries answered promptly.
