Walter Chappell Meta-Flora, 1970s
CHAPPELL, WALTER (1925–2000)
Meta-Flora, 1970s, likely printed 1970s-1980s. Toned gelatin silver print, 28 3/4 x 20 1/4 inches (730 x 515 mm), dry-mounted to card, signed on mount (l.r.). Framed.
A rare oversize print from Chappell's series of Kirlian photographs of plants, a form of lensless photography that involves placing the object to be photographed on top of photographic film that in turn is placed on top of a metal discharge plate. High voltage, high frequency current is then applied to the object, and the resulting coronal discharge provides the exposure.
