Clayton Cotterell, Photographer, Portland

Description

This experimental photographic work by Clayton Cotterell presents an analogue film collage composed of multiple layered negatives and taped fragments. The central rectangular frame displays a silhouette scene of a chain-link fence and a utility pole against a warm, amber-toned sky. The surrounding background features organic, mottled patches and dark, blurred circular formations, creating a deeply textured and atmospheric composition. The piece exhibits distinct vintage film characteristics, including chemical staining and visible sprocket edges on the taped photo elements. The overall aesthetic is raw, tactile, and introspective, characteristic of experimental darkroom processing.
