Description:
Subject: I'm just starting to work on a series exploring lust. I'm interested in religious themes and subject matter.
Composition: was initially meant to be heavy on the right, but the "scroll" if you will is too much. I need to re-think this all and redo it.
Media: Black and white charcoal, india ink on newsprint
Size of your piece : 18 x 24
processes specific to you : I always start with a midtone and use black and white charcoal. for more finished pieces (below) I work on masonite and I start with india ink and gesso to build highlights and shadows before moving on to acrylic washes and eventually charcoal.
any other relevant info: I don't like this.

Description:
Subject: That's mum. From back in the day.The image struck me as introspective and thoughtful.
Composition: Took a long time
Media: Charcoal
Size of you piece: apprx 60 cm by 50cm (incl frame)
Processes specific to you: I suppose i should include this info: drawing is based on a photo my dad took of my mum back in the day. I wanted to do this specifically because original photo is grainy, small, and not really intact. i wanted to bring it to life.
Any other relevant info: Never made it to the art shows it might have, because i shipped it off to Australia as soon as i was done to mum for Christmas.made in high school art class. I'm not studying art or professional at any level. Just like to create things, sorry if i put the info in the wrong categories.

Description:
Describe your decisions: This was a new process for me, so I just wanted to experiment with opacity and chemical reactions to see what I would get. I like to do things where I have a general idea of what will happen, but the things just outside my control are what become the most interesting.
Media: Ilford FB glossy B&W photo paper, egg, saran wrap.
Size of your piece: 11x14"
Processes specific to you: Lumen printing. It's done with photo paper, but the exposure itself is done outside of the darkroom. You basically put anything on the paper--food, chemicals, objects, paper, etc--and give it 4-12 hours of exposure in direct sunlight. It's like a photogram, except with a lot more options. Everything is done by hand, it just uses photo paper and photo chemicals. If this disqualifies me that's alright, it was just something fun to do with things I had that didn't involve using a camera.
GOOD LUCK!
