Catharina Marlowe at Robert Tat Gallery

These are beautiful. Below is a description of her process. Robert Tat said that she is local (Santa Cruz) and belongs to a group of photographers working in alternative processes.

She describes this unusual process as: " A color pigment positive and a black & white negative are made on the computer. The positive image is printed with archival inks on watercolor paper and the black & white negative is printed on transparent material; both are identical in size since they are printed from the same file. Then the pigment print is coated with a layer of platinum and exposed to the negative using the platinum printing process. Teh result is a platinum print with subdued, subtle colors and rich textures."
