Greetings-
As long as the topic is raised, I would like to reiterate my earlier
message regarding the alt-photo exhibition at The White Elephant Gallery in
Boston.
There are in this show a selection of incredible mordancage prints by
Pierre-Louis Martin. He lives in the Loire, and studied with Sudre. With
Sudre's passing he is, according to my sources in France, the current
reference in mordancage. They are beautiful and fascinating prints. I
recommend a visit if you are anywhere near Boston.
In fact, the entire exhibition is world class. A real feast!
