#17 Pink is a photogram, a photographic image produced without the use of a camera. Here, the artist placed plumbago blossoms on a sheet of eight-by-ten-inch film and exposed it to light.

Folded and curled, the fabric reveals an obdurate materiality through the density and thickness of the color and the texture. Welling’s unique processes continuously challenge the criteria and reception of abstract photography.
