Artist's Process noted in catalogue: The haloid process used substitutes selenium plates for film in the camera. The plates are made light-sensitive by bombarding them with 7000 volts in a light tight chamber, then exposed in camera in the same manner as film. After exposure the plate is clamped to a light tight tray which is rotated to cascade xerox toner across the surface. The areas which have been exposed to light reject toner and the areas not exposed will hold toner. This image was electrostaticly transferred to acetate instead of paper, creating a transparency, which was exposed on a photo silkscreen. Three camera images were made from the original (a positive, a negative, and a linear image), using different directions of light for each color. The three screens were printed, in register, with Bob Webster, Professor of Printing and the head of the Silkscreen Department at Rochester Institute of Technology.
