high pressure

These three images were shot on transparency film and the transparencies were manipulated further using a Daylab printer and Polaroid pull apart film where the film is pulled apart before a positive can be processed. The dyes remaining on the Polaroid film were then transferred by rolling onto blotting paper. This is a very unique technique as you will never be able to reproduce the same image twice. There will always be a different amount of dye remaining on the film each time you do it making each image different from the last. They are presented here as a series.

More works created using this technique can be found here

    am I allowed to say that your work is sexy.because it is.Very sexy.I think I have a process fetish.It’s all in the means not so much the end.Though the end result here is,as always,totally unique and striking.
