New experiments for Lumen Prints. The first picture is a set up for a lexicon of seeds, dirt, leaves, feathers and sticks in two layers (close, not so close), in the hope that I can clarify better the relationship between distance and shadow. The second picture is a set up for new landscape (first exposure of three). Subsequent exposures will use layers of stuff and maybe salt, if the salt experiment (picture three) yields anything. The third picture (hard to see) is an experiment with wax and salt. If I understand the chemistry properly, given that I found magic mushrooms in the highschool grounds and failed science (ironically), then salt should inhibit the exposure... Andrew Bailey, is that correct? Because old Talbot's wet plate notes said he had to reduce the salt in his emulsion in order to get an image. I've painted the top of the page with salt lines to see what it does. The bottom of the page has alternating spots of wax and salt water. My theory, which might be bollocks let's be honest, is that salt water solution might reduce the exposure (make greys) and the wax might block it altogether. The third picture also has glass painted with black acrylic with lines scratched into it. Hoping to find a better way to control cross hatching. It is too crass with the dirt so I'm trying paint now... vegemite has turned into a nightmare because the cat licks it off the glass and wrecks my print... This is a virgo thing... I want a lovely chart on my wall that says "soft grey, maggots at 5cm from plate, heavy grey, saline solution with brush, white dot, mustard seeds on paper directly".
