    Oh Scott. This breaks my heart yet it leaves me wanting so much more. Have you tried solar plate printing? I could see you getting great results (not that your work isn’t amazing already!) that you might really enjoy. I love the process. Very tactile and inviting.

  • scott allison replied

    thanks renae! you are too nice :) are you refering to the solar inatglio process? i did that quite a lot when i was in school but haven’t has access to a press since then. i did enjoy the process and results quite a lot though :)
