Photofusion presents Precious Metals, a solo exhibition by artist Melanie King. This exhibition investigates the materiality of silver and palladium, considering its’ production within the cosmos, extraction from Earth and its uses within our society.
It focuses on the use of silver and palladium in photography, suggesting methods of using the materials that are less harmful to our environment. It includes the reclamation of silver from used photographic fixative and jewellery produced using recycled eco-silver. It includes daguerreotypes and platinum-palladium prints of nebulae and supernova explosions, highlighting the cosmic origin of these rare elements.
The exhibition will run from 17th June – 30th July 2022.
