[alt-photo] Re: printing on silk

[Roger Kockaerts]

Hi,

Yes Kerik, it was cotton on which Jeffrey printed. I have two of his very
fine Pt-Pd prints which can be viewed under backlighting.  The cotton on
which he printed was used to make high standard shirts. He told me so when
he visited Brussels during his exhibit at atelier pH7 back in 2001. You
will find information on our web page:

Greetings from Brussels,
