To create this artwork, I used photography, digital collage, contact printing, and lithography inks on watercolour paper. The paper is soaked in a gelatin bath and then dried. In the meantime, a digital negative is made, and contact printed under UV lights on the sensitized watercolour paper. The paper then becomes the matrix for applying lithography inks, building layer upon layer to create the desired image. The myriad of translucent layers and tonal variations enhance the seductive and mesmerizing appeal of the artwork. This process makes the figures seem to emerge from a surreal, dreamlike feeling as if bathed or suspended in an ethereal vapor.
