Gum printing

For the past few weeks, I have been experimenting with single color gum bichromate printing inspired by Matthew Brandt's work currently on display at Columbus Museum of Art. I am planning on teaching the process to my students in a few days. So far I have tried iron oxide, freeze-dried coffee, powdered green tea and paprika as pigments to print my images with. I am quite pleased with the results I got from iron oxide and pleasantly surprised by the subtle yet beautiful tonality I got from paprika. I am going to post a few more on my alternative photography portfolio page, but the below are what I got so far. This printing process is primitive but fun because it gives you so much freedom and room for experimentation. I think my students will enjoy this process.
