Moot Print

Winter Depression, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) I've been doing a lot of thinking about why I finish photographs the way I do - in particular, why do I make sized and editioned prints? When I began as a photographer a print was a necessary means to an end. It was the only ...

Perspective & Reason

Ground Fog, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) Been thinking about what to do next. After my summer hiatus, feels as though I've finished capturing new material for convergent. The raw material was becoming repetitive and I'd need to adjust my approach to continue along this path. I've got to contemplate my perspective and ...

New and Improved

Offshore Breeze, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) Took the summer off to renovate our upstairs apartment and well, a ton of other stuff too it seems. But right before I began that lengthy project my resin and face mounted acrylic were delivered. So all the bits sat here ready gathering dust. In the ...

Work Print

Cold Air Funnel, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) Got the face mount back but it had some bubbles so repeating and hoping for a better result this round. Meanwhile, printing a set of work prints of Light Signatures so I have actual prints to present. Looking good. Exciting to see them finally ...

Waiting Game

Katabatic Wind, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more)   Everything is ordered and the resin arrives tomorrow hopefully followed closely by the face mounted film and then... I pour.

To Print or Not To Print

Coriolis Force, 2106 — Convergent :: (click to see more) Facemounting works! Time to order more resin so I can pour uninterrupted - here we go! Been thinking about my process in general and whether or not I should be making prints of my images as I go. I tend not to for lots of reasons but ...

Face Mounting

Gust Front, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) Waiting to see how the backlit film facemounts to the back of the plexi before I order the rest of the resin but looks promising. Then it's pour, pour, pour as I practice my careful no-air-bubbles clear film rolling technique. Almost there!

Big Sigh of Relief

Scattered Clouds, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) I poured a third layer of resin on top of the first pigment only layer juuuust to be sure the crazy bubbling reaction wasn't a reaction to the ink pigment and thankfully looks like it's not. Which means it was a reaction to the backlit ...

Epic Fial – Rinse, Repeat

I poured the next layer of resin and damn if it didn't go REALLY well - especially after all my anxious planning and scheming. I switched my measuring and second stage mixing gear to glass away from plastic after I found during extensive vacuum testing - which almost melted my pump - that the plastic ...

Go For Launch

Yellow Wind, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) Yep the first pour went ... well - kind of. LOTS of air bubbles that were hard to get out of the syrupy resin mix even after 25 minutes in a vacuum chamber but got most of them - with diligence. Then had some other ...

Pour It

Zonal Flow, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) Yep it's pouring day. I was about to pour just now but need more time to recover in case bad things happen - so tomorrow it is. But the form is all sealed up as best I can get it, everything is as dust free ...

Big Time

Ball Lightning, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) At long last I'm actually ready to pour the resin. Everything is levelled out so the resin will flow evenly. Got a way to clamp the form closed and another way to seal up the seams so resin doesn't drain out the cracks plus another ...

Glueing

Blocking High, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) Glueing the side braces now. In talking it over with my studio mate I've got a plan for rolling out the clear film that'll hopefully reduce the chance of trapping air bubbles beneath it. Still inventing the method in my head. Mould Building #5

Continuing On

Low Pressure Trough, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) I've reassembled the plexi resin form and am continuing to add the plywood side supports  - order more resin and let the pouring begin. Hopefully with no bubbles or any other weird anomolies. I think this time around the form is less delicate - mostly ...
