I’ve been #staringatwalls

Doing a little more additive separation photography, aka #trichrome #believeinfilm
A colorful image of a wall made with black and white film. The bands of color are the result of three different exposures being made as the sun moves across the sky.

I’ve been experimenting recently with double coating and exposing bioplastic cyanotype.
This one has been coated & exposed three times while wet. The extra moisture the bioplastic is absorbing is causing drying issues hence the cracks in this piece.

Cyanotype print of my back on homemade paper made from paper and plastic medical prescription packets.

Finding it really difficult to get a strong image, but maybe that’s not a bad thing?
