New work

I have been experimenting with light sensitive polymer film attached to copper plate. I attended a workshop at Gillian Kline's studio, where artist Lesley Duxbury demonstrated her expertise with this technique. A photographic transparency is place over the plate which has the film attached to it using water and a squee gee. Held in place with a sheet of glass this is exposed to the sun. The image transfers to the film on the plate. The plate is "developed" in a bath of water and dissolved washing soda crystals and then left to harden. Length of time exposured to the sun is dependent on many factors. I inked up the plates and printed them using the etching press. These plates can also be etched in the normal way but I chose to see what the effects were just as it was. You cvan view the 5 prints in "Current Prints". I chose a theme of decay or time passing and tried to get the effect of the images decaying as on an old film strip.
