Spring is here. I have stepped into a new season of prosperity and wisdom. Consequently,I have a new project in the works. I have gained access to a large format xerox printer(6204 wide format) and I am venturing into the world of large format photo-transfers onto wood planes and eventually to tabletops and other furniture. I have located and contracted a beautiful model for this series, Isak. Check her out below.
The Series of photos I'm using for this project is entitled "CYMK." (below...) I used toner based copys and washed them with acrylic paint. (Thanks to Jackson Pollock for the inspiration.) I am currently researching ways to preserve the dark values of the photo-transfers. Sometime this week I will experiment with different mixtures of soft gel, polymer medium, and gum arabic during the transfer process to see which mixture will prevent that "ashy black" look that is oh so common with the photo-transfer process.
Below is a sketch of how my furniture will come together.
(1)Cut all 24x36 prints to 18x32.
(2)Cut Plank to the same dimensions.
(3)Bevel the edges at 30° then apply photo-transfers.
(4)Attach Edges
(5)Create Table top
(6)Attach Table top
(7)Fin.
Hopefully it all comes together as simply as my sketch :)
Good Things are coming for us all. Until Next Time...
