What is Mordançage?
Mordançage is an experimental darkroom process used with black-and-white silver gelatin prints. The print is treated with a chemical solution that bleaches parts of the image and causes sections of the emulsion to lift from the paper, creating delicate veils, textures, and distorted surfaces. Because the emulsion moves unpredictably, every finished print is completely unique.
