Dan Burkholder was one of the first photographic artists to embrace digital technology, having originated the digital-negative process in the early 1990’s.  Melding his unique vision with mastery of both the wet and digital darkrooms, Burkholder went on to pioneer the use of platinum/palladium prints on vellum over 24k gold leaf.  Combined together, the membrane-like translucency of the vellum and iridescence of the gold leaf imbue Burkholder’s  images with a uniqueness all to their own. – courtesy  John Cleary Gallery.
