Artefact sketches and experiments

I started off this week by trying out some of the first brainstorm ideas from last week.


Painting on skin:

Drawing/painting on photos: Foto-schetsen-fs.jpg


But it wasn't quite right, the puzzle pieces didn't fall into place yet. It didn't do enough..

So I went back to research, with succes! I came across a photographic printing technique in which one uses the chlorofyl of plants to make light-sensitive paper. These prints are called 'anthotypes'. I thought this was great. When I did further research into this technique I found that you can also print directly onto leaves! Now I felt like everything was falling into place. The printed leaves have a tender and fragile look about them, I also like that there are no chemicals involved and that I can draw or print anything directly onto a translucent film, which acts as a 'positive' (instead of a negative). This is how it works: you place translucent film with a positive image drawn or printed onto it on top of a leaf and press it into a photo frame. Then you simply place the frame in a sunny spot and let the sunlight 'bleach' the areas that are not protected/covered. (So I guess it's essentially a positive contact print.)

I grabbed some different types of leaves from my parents garden, made some drawings on translucent film, pressed them between a frame and placed it in front of my window. But of course there is one problem: bright, sunny days are not really something you can count on in The Netherlands.. But I'll see what had happened to the leaves when I came back from Antwerpen next week.
