The project uses photographic images to explore the concept of object, land and archaeology where the intricate patterns of both photograph and photogram sit against a stark black background. In Adze to Coda, Lloyd Godman uses the photogram technique to explore concepts of the intersection of nature and culture. The works are photographically complex and challenging to create. Combining both photographs and photograms on the same sheet of photographic paper they demand high dark...
