Presentation Transcript

Slide 1: 

My original image - a much needed escape from the cold of Boone. This is on Christmas day in Florida! 1

Slide 2: 

I then coated the image with ten layers of Acrylic Gel Medium. 2

Slide 3: 

Once the layers dried, I set the image in lukewarm water and removed the original paper backing. What you see here is the ink transfer. 3

Slide 4: 

Next, I removed the water portion of the gel transfer. 4

Slide 5: 

Inspired by a rainy day, I cut the section of water into individual droplets. 5

Slide 6: 

I'm anticipating a very unlucky semester, as I pasted the gel water droplets to a red umbrella...inside my apartment. 6

Slide 7: 

A kind and curious neighbor agreed to take this photograph of me beside a motorcycle with the decorated umbrella. 7

Slide 8: 

Photoshop compensated for my inability to reproduce a painting of the photograph. A fresco filter immediately produced what I envisioned. 8

Slide 9: 

After resizing, I inserted the image into a coaster. Ironic image for a coaster, don't you think? 9

Slide 10: 

I inserted the remainder of my gel image into a water jug with a tap. 10

Slide 11: 

Without food dye, I resorted to wine for coloring. A dilution of wine made its way to the cloud partition. 11

Slide 12: 

I took the previous two elements and a martini glass into the photo studio to create this lens flare effect. It was printed, then burned. 12

Slide 13: 

I cut the result into diagonal strips. 13

Slide 14: 

I rolled the strips onto cigarettes in an alternating pattern. 14

Slide 15: 

To ensure they would not be smoked, I lit each of them on my apartment railing until unusable. 15

Slide 16: 

I re-packaged the finished product and strategically placed it in front of a smoking prohibited sign on campus. 16

Slide 17: 

A comparison – The first photograph was based in aesthetics. The final was more of a statement. Final
