Tecolote, New Mexico 10 x 12 1/2'', platinum-palladium print with pastel Prints are numbered and signed.
"Invisible in reproductions of Myers' photographs is the tactility of the prints, a surface quality that augments the vivid presence of their images. Her printing technique uses platinum and palladium, rather than silver, and requires that she make her emulsion from scratch and brush it on the paper. Then with an enlarged negative, she makes a contact print on all-rag drawing paper. The image is part of the paper, rather than sitting on its surface, creating the effect of photographed detail becoming actual, physical detail. The lush texture and warm tones further manifest the sensuousness and intimacy of experience already suggested by Myers' imagery." - Kathleen Shields, New Mexico Magazine (November 1985)
