Marco Breuer

I came across Marco Breuer while sort of tumbling down the internet rabbit hole after looking up some artists suggested to me by Wyatt, most specifically Ellen Cary and Sheree Hovsepian (and basically every artist on http://www.mbart.com/). He is a German artist who typically works without a camera, using abrasive tactics on his paper to weather and stress (or even create) the print.

He's worked with chromogenic prints, photograms, printmaking techniques, and produced several artist books in his twenty to thirty year career. 

A lot of his career has also begged the question "What is photography?" in that his work is created in such non-conventional ways. He's used everything from flame to power sanders to a shotgun to help create his unique prints. Just this year he was awarded the Larry Sultan Photography award.

I think the next step  I'm interested in taking is to start attempting RA-4 processing to create some more vibrant, intriguing pieces and hopefully gain more control in the darkroom with these new techniques.
