Patrick, on a journey.
I'm spending a year on the road across Canada — Atlantic to Pacific to Arctic — with a car, a camera, a sampler, and a mobile printing station. The archive is the thing the year is for.
I sample color from the thing itself — the silo, the brick wall, the flower that won't bloom next spring. The archive keeps each color tied to that source, and the photograph stands beside it as a witness to place.
We compress human experience into a single pixel and decompress it into infinite tomorrows. One collection at a time.
We print through local shops close to where each color was collected. About sixty cents of every dollar spent locally stays in that community. That's the commitment.

Unichrome's mission is to channel the vibrancy of the universe — by pulling color out of real places and making sure it keeps its meaning everywhere it goes.
