Ben Cauchi, the 16th artist in residence at the McCahon House studio has spent the summer months creating a new series of work capturing the bush and surroundings at French Bay, but in no ordinary way. Using the 160 year old wet collodion photographic process, a technique developed just after the daguerreotype, Cauchi presents haunting glass plate images that transport you back in time. Like an alchemist, Cauchi subtly mixes reality and our perception of reality in his carefully observed and recorded works..

Photographer, Ben Cauchi moved into the residence on Sunday 30 October for his three month Summer residency. His work is created by a wet collodian process on glass or metal in a process dating back to the 19th century. A temporary darkroom was set up in the studio as timing is crucial in this process.
