Opening, Friday, March 9th from 6pm-9pm 202 Main St, Northampton, MA

During Northampton’s monthly Art’s Night Out UNITE will be presenting Sloan Tomlinson’s photographs Friday March 9th from 6-9pm. Refreshments will be served. Artwork will be on display and for sale until April 10th.

Sloan Tomlinson is Hatfield based photographer who stretches the limits of traditional film photography. His pieces have luscious colours that seem to glow and transform, the photos appear more like abstract paintings than photographs. The images are created using severe chemical damaging of the film, prior to, during, and after the development. The bright surreal colours are created only from this technique and are not altered digitally, although the negatives are scanned in and then printed on an archival pigment printer. There is a sense of blood vessels, corpuscles, brachial tissue and other inner unseen worlds to the photographs. Sloan attempts to create beauty out of chaos from the rather uncontrollable film technique.
