Bronzelidded continues my interests in dismantling the photographic medium and the deconstruction of images. Immediately preceding Bronzelidded, I had spent a year making a series titled Lesser Chains, executed in a black and white darkroom without the use of a camera. It was important for me to abandon the camera for a moment and make photographs with the most minimum of means. After exhausting my set parameters for image making, and finishing the series, I decided to start a new body of work where I used bleach to destroy the remaining photographs from Lesser Chains. These manipulated prints became the Bronzelidded series. It was exciting to make photos that were unfixed, imperfect, and ever-changing.
