Art Chemica: Creatures of the Mist

Have you ever seen faces or characters in abstract art forms and wondered why? This is quite normal. It is a phenomenon known as pareidolia - seeing faces, characters or patterns that in reality, don’t exist. It’s like seeing the man in the moon. In this body of abstract chemigram artwork, you will see incredible mythical and imaginary characters emerge. Some humorous, some goblin-like, some unusual, and some so realistic you will think they were hand drawn or painted. See how many you can find? How can that even be feasible? How can random chemical reactions produce such vivid representational figures out of what is essentially an abstract art form? It is as if the chemistry itself paints and creates these amazing and mythical figures, allowing just a little room for intervention along the way. Out of the chemical ‘mists’ of a photographic darkroom laboratory, comes unique and fascinating fabled characters! This collection shows an intriguing and unusual series of abstract chemical art never seen before in a photobook!! This is also the first ever published series of chemigrams where these art forms show the frequency of this exciting phenomenon. Let your imagination loose and enjoy a fascinating exploration into the first photobook showing chemigrams and its connection to the “mists” of your mind. Creatures of the Mist is a personal photobook and the culmination of a private journey into a little known and practised cameraless alternative darkroom process. It is an exploration into experimental art forms using photo-chemistry known as the chemigram. ‘I like to call it “Chemical Art” or simply “Art Chemica,”’’ says author, Dr Edward John Odes (PhD) (Anatomical Sciences)
