Digital Transfers

 

Creating digital image transfers using hand sanitizer, DASS transparency film, and watercolor paper. This particular process allows you to transfer images from inkjet transparency film to porous waterleaf type printmaking papers. I first scan my negatives, and edit the desired image on photoshop to print on the transparency film. You are able to produce images ranging from beautifully detailed, rich, vibrant lithographic quality emulsion transfers to more uniquely faded artistic looks similar to old Polaroid image transfers. Any printer can be used to print on the transparency film as long as the ink set is pigment based.

Cyanotype - Cyanotipo

 

AN ULTRAVIOLET CONTACT PRINTING PROCESS RESULTING IN A BEAUTIFUL, RICH, BLUE PRINT. A PREPARED EMULSION IS BRUSHED ONTO WATERCOLOR PAPER (OR ANY NATURAL FABRIC). THEN PLACED TO DRY IN SUBDUED LIGHT. NEGATIVES OR OBJECTS ARE THEN PLACED ON TOP OF THE PAPER OR MATERIAL AND EXPOSED IN THE SUNLIGHT.

El Cyanotipo se compone de 2 “ingredientes” o químicos para ser precisos: Citrato Férrico de Amonio y Ferricianuro de Potasio. Cuando estos dos químicos se combinan forman una solución fotosensible, se emulsiona un papel (Preferiblemente de Algodón) y se expone junto con un negativo o algún cuerpo opaco a una fuente de luz Ultra Violeta como el sol. Luego se realiza un proceso de “Lavado-Revelado” y el resultante es una imagen de color azul o cyan.

 

Anthotype 

 

JUICES FROM FRUITS, VEGETABLES,ROOTS OR FLOWER PETALS ARE MADE INTO A PIGMENT WHICH IS BRUSHED ONTO WATERCOLOR PAPER. A POSITIVE TRANSPARENCY OR OBJECT IS PLACED ON THE WATERCOLOR PAPER. THEN PLACED WHERE THERE IS DIRECT SUNLIGHT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

 

Jugos de frutas, vegetales, raices o pétalos de flores se convierten en pigmentos. Los cuales son puestos sobre papel para acuarela. Se coloca una transparencia positiva u objeto sobre el papel y luego se lleva  donde haya luz de sol directa donde se deja durante un periódo largo.

 

Lumens

 

BOTANICAL MATERIALS PLACED ON BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPER (MORE EXCITING WHEN USING OLD SILVER PAPER). THEN PLACED IN THE SUN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THE PAPER IS THEN FIXED AND WASHED.

 

Materiales Botánicos son colocados sobre papel fotógrafico (blanco y negro), luego son colocados bajo el sol durante un tiempo. El papel luego es llevado al cuarto oscuro para procesar.
