Alex Chitty - Stacked

from $100.00

Stacked, 2025

Piezography print on paper

This photo was designed specifically for the Piezography printer and was taken with a large format camera during a 2014 Latitude Artist Residency. Dusty glass cups are stacked between long glass slats. I physically etched grids into the negative with a pin before scanning it. Removing dust digitally from scanned negatives is common practice, but this image uses the physical dust on the glass surfaces to better define them. When editing, I had the pleasurable task of distinguishing between "functional" and "non-functional" dust particles.

The prints are editioned by limited time, available only from October 15 - December 15, 2025. After this date, this image will not be made available in this format again.

Alex Chitty

ALEX CHITTY (b. 1979, Little Havana, Miami, FL) grew up between the United States and Britain. Chitty studied theater, literature, botany, marine biology, and fine art at Smith College (BFA, 2001) and earned her MFA (2008) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Through shifts in context, display and function, Chitty’s practice draws attention to how gender, emotion, politics, and culture are intrinsically embedded in the images, objects, fashions, and overall infrastructure of everyday life. She has exhibited nationally and internationally with conceptually layered works that combine multiple artistic disciplines, materials and techniques. Chitty is a professor in the Printmedia, Sculpture and Ceramic Departments at SAIC in Chicago.
