Today I have been experimenting with a photographic image transfer process, whereby acetone is applied to the back of a photograph, which is then run through the etching press so that the ink transfers. Through working with this process I have learnt that it is important to work quickly and efficiently, otherwise the images can become stuck together. Also, when the image is transferred, some of the quality of the image is lost, leaving a mottled and distressed appearance. However, the loss in quality in the transfer of the image, combined with the added textures of the paper abstract the image, reinforcing my concept that beauty can be found when sought.
