Blaine Williams is an artist who primarily examines both the medium of photography and the structure of the built environment. This particular work is a collection of original 1-of-1 pieces referred to as Etchings. They are made through a method that Williams himself created, where light-sensitive paper is placed face-down onto the surfaces of streets, sidewalks, and other urban structures. The paper is then lit with an external flash from the side. Through this process, the surfaces of sidewalks and roads create photographic impressions, etching themselves onto the paper. By tracing these surfaces with light, they are recorded in the way one would experience them: through physical touch. This series recreates a collage of isolated urban experiences; by linking them together, one can understand the associated landscape both physically and phenomenologically.
