For my 15 hour exam, I decided to use the darkroom to develop and explore my photographs from stage 2, Trails and Movement. As this was a more personal project, I really wanted to include aspects of my house that intertwine with history, time and trails - so I chose to use the rest of my 15 hours to sew old buttons, thread and embellishments I found in my Mum's sewing box onto my images.

development: dark room
development: inverted
development: sewing, marking and embellishments
For this development, I used personal objects such as old buttons from my childhood clothes and toys that my mum kept. I wanted to focus on a strong time and traces concept.

My photographs by the end had lots of thread coming off them.
