The Capsizing of Humanity - The Raft of the MedusaThe Capsizing of Humanity, A Wet Plate Collodion CollaborationThe Capsizing of Humanity - The Raft of the Medusa

"The Capsizing of Humanity", June 17th, 2017, a wet plate collaboration eight months in the making. I based this work on the historic painting "The Raft of the Medusa" at the Louvre, one of the most horrific maritime events in history.

The Raft of the Medusa is an oil painting of 1818–1819 by the French Romantic painter and lithographer Théodore Géricault. Completed when the artist was 27, the work has become an icon of French Romanticism.

8x10" black glass ambrotype in the historic wet plate collodion process of pure silver on glass. The original plate will be curated by the Historical Society of North Dakota at the Heritage Center in Bismarck, North Dakota.

Carl Zeiss Tessar 300mm lens, f8, 2 seconds of exposure.
