In their most recent body of work, Kalven Duncan employs alternative photographic processes as a forum to study their ultra-personal symbology and the extent to which their queer identity informs their perspective. through this window, another side is a byproduct of questioning symbols that harbor personal importance by isolating images that invoke inspiration, nostalgia, or are pulled directly from their past. Kalven utilizes primarily the cyanotype process to achieve this due to the attractively unpredictable nature of the medium, the accessibility of the materials, the use of the sun’s rays, and because the process affords time spent with the image and to contemplate reactions to the use of dead space, surface, scale, orientation, and preparation.
through this window, another side alludes to Kalven’s use of the contact printing method, in which the negative is held directly to the printing paper by a glass pane during exposure. The title also refers to the mindset with which the artist approaches the project, peering through the visual vocabulary of self to further understand their individual queer experience.
