Flamingo

The images reproduced in this work are photographed by Chloe Sells in Botswana, using large and medium format analogue cameras. The work is printed in a traditional darkroom. The darkroom process is spontaneous and consuming, layering light, texture and form to interact with photographic alchemy. Some of the images are drawn on after they have been printed with paint and marker. Because of Sells' method of working, each outcome is unique.

Born in Aspen, Colorado, Sells graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2000 with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art, and gained her Masters in Fine Art from Central St. Martins in 2011. She currently lives and works between London and Maun, Botswana. The first solo exhibition of her work was held at Michael Hoppen Gallery, London in 2013
