Pull of the Day!

This is L’Inconnue de la Seine, the face that inspired the face mold of Resusci Anne! The legend goes, this plaster face is the death mask of a woman who drowned in the Seine in 1885. The real identity of the woman is unknown.

I’m continuing my exploration into cmyk gelli printing!

I got my hands on a resuscitation manikin (a resusci anne to be precise) and will be photographing her for resource material for prints and paintings. Super excited!

Sorry for the lack of posts, life was… life-ing.

Here is my first attempt at printing a photo using CMYK on a gelatin plate!

The Shadow, 2025

This piece is made up of smaller gelli prints combined to make one large image, mounted on distressed cardboard.
All of the pieces surrounding it are also works of mine from last year that will eventually get their own posts.

I have an assignment to do some studio experiments with a material of my choice (I chose books) which have lead to some… normal behavior.

Pull of the Day? Likely.
I still can’t photograph to save my life, but I hope it doesn’t detract from the print too much!

That feel when the first pull of the day is also the pull of the day!
Someday I’ll figure out how to photograph these better…

Pull of the Day! Pleased with this one—this is the first time I’ve used water in multiple layers.

I don’t show WIPs very often (too self-conscious) but I’m really excited about this base I built for a paper machê lion yesterday. All found cardboard from around the studio! #WIP #sculpture #cardboard
