Project 8 Pre Work - Temperaprint

Temperaprint is a process of photo development in which eggs are used to create light sensitive emulsions containing pigment. The photographer breaks three fresh eggs into a sealable container and shakes them until they're in a uniform liquid state. The eggs are then strained through a fine tea strainer to get rid of clots and yolk sacs. Next, the saturated solution is created with distilled water and ammonium dichromate powdered chemical. The egg liquid is combined with the saturated solution as well as some paint to get the temperaprint solution. The artist tapes their substrate to a big piece of glass and slathers it with the solution. Then, through contact printing, the image is transferred onto the substrate.
