If you are a gelatin printmaker like me then you have stacks of printed papers the have potential but are not finished pieces of art.  Today I played with the idea of torn paper abstract landscape.

• I started with gelatin prints that were primarily one value, light, medium or dark
• The prints were mostly textural not images
• I was able to use parts of print because the landscape is only 4″ x 6″
• I tore the paper and noticed where the white edge appeared.
• I positioned the papers to divide up the space into 3 different sized area a large space, medium space and tiny space.
• I glued them down from top to bottom
• I trimmed up the edged

I think that I will have to play with this some more.

• I need to dig deeper into my stash of gelatin prints to find papers with the right marks, values and textures.
• I will look for other landscapes for inspiration
• Be happy with the surprises

I am sharing this print and all the gelatin plate prints from June and July with the gang in the ICAD challenge.  It is not to late to start.  I have always admired those daily makers.  And now I am one of them. 🙂
