Melody Locke Art
Traditional and Alternative Photography
Houston artist Melody Locke creates art that exists at the intersection of nature and imagination, where the ordinary transforms into something otherworldly. Working with both traditional and non-camera photographic processes, she creates images that evoke the quiet mystery of dreams, memory, and time. Whether developing black-and-white film in a wet darkroom or exposing botanical materials to sunlight, her prints shimmer with light, color, and emotion.
Melody invites viewers to slow down and take a closer look. Her work blurs the line between the real and the imagined, reminding us that wonder often lies just beyond what we see.

Lumen Prints
Lumen prints are developed by the sun or a similar light source on gelatin silver photographic paper. They are then processed in a traditional darkroom and hand-toned in a selenium or gold solution.

Prints from Black and White Film
Black-and-white gelatin silver prints are hand-printed from B&W film in a traditional darkroom on high-quality fiber paper and then are selenium, gold, or sepia-toned.

Infrared Prints
Black-and-white gelatin silver prints are hand-printed in a traditional darkroom from infrared film on high-quality fiber paper and then selenium-toned, gold-toned, or sepia-toned.

This solo exhibition will be on view from September 30 through November 18. This gallery is open Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM. Enjoy your lunch at Treebeards and take in over 30 pieces of my original lumen prints.
