several pieces of gelatin placed together to make bigger prints ©2012 linda germain |
So I took Cathy McLaurin’s working big class for the second year in a row. In preparation for the class I put several pieces of gelatin together and started making bigger prints. Scale changes everything. But I came up with some new insights during the process.
- the refrigerator can only hold a certain size.
- use thing strips of wood to hold all the gelatin pieces together
- slippery non-absorbent paper can give very interesting results
- charcoal can be picked and transferred on the gelatin plate.
- same pieces in a series can be pieced together to create large work.
