WORDS FROM SARA SOWELL

During my time at Latitude, I focused on producing many series of prints that emphasize color, texture, repetition and surface.

These images are derived hand-developed color 16mm film loops created through repetitive printing processes. Each loop consists of the same sequence contact-printed under a color enlarger, generating textural variations in color negative and positive.

From these film loops, I have captured more than 7,000 still images. I sort through these stills each time I'm in the studio, organizing them into series based on the accumulation of a line or a shape unfolding over many frames.
