An old wooden bench, overlooking a lake, standing An old wooden bench, overlooking a lake, standing on the edge of a forest. A single negative exposed onto different types of aged analogue light-sensitive photo papers. 
A series of imperfections and color shifts, revealing a glimpse of times long gone. They became part of the photograph.
Fifty perceptions telling the stories of the many visitors. The pond and the hill. The birds and the trees. And all the little changes.
Untill it ends with the fiftieth image. A proper goodbye.

Anna’s Hoeve, Hilversum.

Artist-made, gelatin silver print in a limited edition of 50. Each print is made on a different type of darkroom photo paper. The oldest are from 1934! The negative is the same, yet every print is unique. All prints are signed on verso. I’ve added these 25 prints for sale with the #artistsupportpledge , numbers correspond with the prints in the zine.

Every print has a different size (see photo’s). All prints are framed in 24 x 30 cm Barth satin silver frame with Art glass (see 7th photo). Custom frames are optional. 
Every buyer gets a free zine! Zines are for sale too for €15, limited edition of 50, signed and numbered.

€150 + shipping.
International shipping available 🌍 

If you’re interested to buy please DM or email me (melanie@melvdlinde.nl)

The @artistsupportpledge is a brilliant idea by @matthewburrowsstudio where artists sell artwork directly for a maximum of £200 without gallery commission. Once I make €1000 I pledge to buy an artwork to support a fellow artist ! 

ABOUT ARTIST SUPPORT PLEDGE:

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many artists around the world have found themselves without work, teaching, technical support, gallery work, exhibitions and sales have disappeared. In an attempt to help alleviate some of this stress @matthewburrowsstudio has instigated the #artistsupportpledge The concept is a simple one. Artists post images of their work to sell for no more than £200 each (not including shipping.) Anyone can then buy the work. Every time an artist reaches £1000 of sales they pledge to buy another artist's work for £200.

First clamshell box of the year! This one will be First clamshell box of the year! This one will be used to store 8x10 inch / 20,5x25,4 cm darkroom photography prints.

And the first bookbinding project since February. I’m so happy to be able to work in the atelier again. 

I’ll only be in once or twice a week for the coming months (if we can keep corona under control that is). I hope you are all enjoying summer safely!
