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.

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!

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 ...

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 ...

Rebuild

Downdraft, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) Got both sides of the mould glued together as you see below and tidied up the corner joints but as I was setting up to glue the first outer brace the mould tipped over and broke apart. Grrr. Rebuild! Clearly it's delicate so going to put it ...

Mould Building

Confluence, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) I've begun to build the resin pouring mould - so far it's working. Loving the plastic cup spacers held together and taped to my work light to keep them positioned. This whole thing is using my typical hacked together builder will approach. With any luck it'll ...

Progress

Line Squall, 2015 – Convergent :: (click to see more) Feeling energized this afternoon - after definitely determining urethane resin is the way to go - transparent, clear and much less carcinogenic/smelly than polyester resin. A few items left to work out but feeling ready to actually proceed with volumetric printing Light Signatures. First step is ...

Volumetric Prints

Private Discussion In Mauve, 2014 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) A friend recently showed me a kickstarter project that has some interesting similarities to how I was considering printing these images. Although they go about it by stacking together a series of clear plates with printing on them - whereas I was considering ...

Resin Trouble

Draped Yellow Green Over Pink, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) Been working on the book today - sounds ominous calling it "the book" but there you go. It's actually a touch more difficult than I thought it would be but mostly the hard part is editing which images to include and then ...

A Book

Deep Blue Refracted Orange, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) Began working on a book of images today to use as a leave behind when I meet with galleries. But I'm kind of excited by the possibility of offering it as an ebook for free on my site and also as a hardcover ...

Lozengey Resiny Blobs

Blue Wave Mauve Shore, 2013 – Light Signatures :: (click to see more) I finally had a visualization of the way I think I'll make the Light Signatures images into objects. All along now I've wanted them to have a depth consistent with the way I often see things. I've got screwbally eyes - to ...
