October 23 - November 5
In spite of Hurricane Sandy there were a few nice-weather days for making prints and an NYC trip (trip was before the storm :).
I layered multiple exposures on single sheets, experimented with sizes (mostly scroll-like shapes), stenciled text, and layered text with my printer:
NYC Trip:
Metropolitan Museum of Art --
Faking It; Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop
Whitney Museum --
Wade Guyton OS
Guyton makes large scale paintings with printers. Must see in person, they are beautiful.
Also visited the Yale Art Gallery print room and viewed original cyanotype prints dated from 1850 through 1910:
An artist book:
The Poor: Six Prose Poems
Trans. by Stuart Watson, Illustrated by George Laws Weinberg
Charles Baudelaire
Maquokeeta, c. 2010
Book
Vanderbilt University Central Library's W. T. Bandy Center
for Baudelaire and Modern French Studies
The "blue" of the prints is from a cyanotype process-an early 19th c. photographic chemical process using iron. There's a relationship/tension between the 19th century technology (of Baudelaire's time) to depict 21st century technologies, like the nanoscale DNA structures in the first print, made by IBM scientists for IBM supercomputers (called "Blue Gene").
