    i think the thing i love the most about your work is the richness of the tones. of course, the concepts always blow me away, but i truly enjoy being thrown into the image by the processing.

    i do have one question though, are some of your prints split-toned?

  • laurenrabbit replied

    It goes a little past split toning- I use sepia, selenium and silver bleach and apply them with brushes avoiding some areas completely which retain the original tone of the paper, so I can pull 3-4 different tones out of a print if I find it appropriate.

  • laurenrabbit replied

    forgot to mention- if you allow the movement of water to direct the toners it can get quite interesting and you can never make the same pattern twice.

    Only a control freak tries to determine ‘forever’.

    True friends need no reminding.

    Some of my friends disappear for a year or so, and I never hear from them, and then I do.

    In the end, your only best friend is yourself.

    JMHO

    A little bit of ‘fixing’ for your BF?
    Are they actually toe cutters?
    Good emotional work as always.

    BBF? I blame the Bratz. Slutty fuckers. Anyway, the image – great as usual. Oh, didn’t notice the woman behind the manequinn straight away. Love it.

    haunting picture…..so many potential meanings. I luv that your work is digital free, perhaps cos may a year ago I started that way and putting you fingers in chemicals has the same hands on feeling as painting….. without a dark room for many a year, now I also appreciate digital for it’s accessibility.
