The Triptych
During lockdown I started a new method of working. It involved using found negatives, sourced through Ebay. A technique that involved selecting three negatives layered together to form one negative which is then scanned. A constructed narrative comes into view. A new aesthetic exposed through the single scan.
The Cameo
Cameo is a method of carving an object such as an engraved gem, item of jewellery or vessel. It nearly always features a raised (positive) relief image; contrast with intaglio, which has a negative image. Originally, and still in discussing historical work, cameo only referred to works where the relief image was of a contrasting colour to the background; this was achieved by carefully carving a piece of material with a flat plane where two contrasting colours met, removing all the first colour except for the image to leave a contrasting background.
The Interval
Found 5×4 colour Transparency.
