[alt-photo] Re: casein history

[Peter Blackburn]

I learned about casein from Langford's book back in 1988 and started working with it immediately but was never satisfied with my results from that "recipe." It wasn't until AKD sizing appeared in art papers in the late 1990s and the web matured enough to make finding information easier that I explored casein from other perspectives. It was in 2004 that I finally hit on the casein mixture that I still use today with great relish. By the way, I'll be officially announcing here in a few days (as soon as the gallery has a link ready) an alternative photographic print exhibition to start here in Dallas starting July 21. It is a group exhibition featuring nine artists of which I am one.  I'll have three tricolor casein prints and one tricolor gum bichromate print in the show. My understanding is that this same show will continue on later this year at the Visual Arts Center in Starkville, MS during the same time as the SPE conference. More later.  Cheers to all! Peter J.
