Clayton Cotterell, Photographer, Portland

Description

This experimental photographic work by photographer Clayton Cotterell features a collage composition centered around a dark negative showing bare tree branches. The central rectangular negative is fixed to the surface with translucent adhesive tape. A large dark circular element and mottled purple and white chemical or ink stains overlay the scene, creating an abstract textured aesthetic. The composition emphasizes analogue photographic imperfections, visible film borders, and layered elements.
