Project: Wood Book of Memory's
|
Artist Statement:
I have always loved old books. When I look at the wood-grain, I think of those old style books from the 1500s; especially when the wood is stained. This book is made out of wood with ink print transfers onto the wood. The images were transferred by printing the images mirrored on thin copy paper. Then I use a gel medium on the wood, laying the paper ink side down. There are two books that I have made so far in this style of wood printing. The first book was made of photographs of stone churches, cathedrals, and abbeys in the U.K. and Ireland that I captured during my trip in 2013. The second book is made up of many images from the 60th Wedding Anniversary of my Grandparents at Disneyland and California Adventure in 2015 during Disneyland's 60th Anniversary (Diamond Celebration). |
