Unique effects from this photographic process are enhanced by the use of a variety of unusual materials. Ethereal images emerge from forms printed on silk while translucent images appear to float on sheets of glass. The addition of gold leaf to this process is an innovation developed by the artist to capture the shimmering light experienced in her Viaggio Spirituale (Spiritual Journey).
