ABOUT ZIATYPE
The
ziatype is a variation on the platinum and palladium process.When printing, no darkroom,
developer, enlarger or artificial light source is required. You can work
in most normal workspaces, expose in a printing frame in sunlight. A glass
rod and three trays complete the equipment list. That's all there is to
it. The prints are an object of beauty maintaining long term stability.
ZIATYPE HISTORY
It was developed in the Labs of Bostick & Sullivan by Richard Sullivan in the early
1990s, and is a variation of Guiseppe Pizzighelli's printing out process
developed in the late 1800's. The Ziatype name came from the ancient New
Mexico Anasazi pueblo people's symbol for the sun.
ABOUT BOB KERSEY
Bob
& Mary Kersey run Black Mountain Photographic Workshops and Meyer Gallery in NSW. Bob has exhibited widely with platinum and palladium in Sydney,
Melbourne and NSW Regional Galleries and is one of the few exhibiting photographers in the world producing Ziatypes from 12x20

and Richard Sullivan he has developed a deep knowledge in this process
and wonderful method of instructing in the gentle art of Ziatype.
