{"product_id":"joly-dots-and-donts-alan-phelan","title":"Joly Dots and Don'ts, Alan Phelan","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlan Phelan has been working with the Joly screen process since 2018, one of the first stable colour photography methods that was invented by Trinity College Dublin physics professor John Joly in the 1880s. The ‘additive’ or ‘separate’ process uses a red, green, and blue striped screen to filter light on exposure and display to make colour from light not chemistry. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe content of the images is broad as Phelan wants to create a visual history for the process that it never had a chance to have as it was abandoned early on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis selection draws on several projects — flower photographs that reference floral paintings and arrangements over five centuries; self-portraits that connect to queer photography history in performing identities; and ‘dot’ photographs which exploit the layered process, leaving dot gaps in the stripes and adding visual complexity with coloured paper and re-photographed found images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/alanphelan.com\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ealanphelan.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor those that are not familiar with the project, \u003ca title=\"TLP Editions\" href=\"https:\/\/photoireland.org\/project\/tlp-editions\/\"\u003eTLP Editions\u003c\/a\u003e is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by \u003ca title=\"PhotoIreland\" href=\"https:\/\/photoireland.org\/about-photoireland\/\"\u003ePhotoIreland\u003c\/a\u003e, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications.
