Slater Bradley — Factory Ikon
Slater Bradley

Factory Ikon

A chromogenic print adorned with gold marker, Factory Ikon merges photography's chemical richness with the luminous, hand-applied strokes of Bradley's mark-making. The gold lines and forms overlay the photographic image, creating a tension between mechanical reproduction and intimate gesture. Bradley transforms the print into something icon-like, imbuing it with a sacred, almost devotional quality through the alchemy of precious metallic ink.
