I have been trying to stretch A3 pieces of tracing paper so I can try to make bigger images, and see what happens to the paper again, but of course the bigger paper holds more water, and is proportionally thinner too, so I have not succeeded yet. I’ve wasted plenty of paper trying though. No photos – but it is ugly so far.
Meanwhile, I wanted to practice using my inks more, so made this little image, which turned out pretty well. It will be interesting to see whether the white gate is still a gate when this paper is held up to light.
I also started to put together a movie of the frames damaged by over-viewing. This is as delicate a task as finding all the lost frames of stories lost in editing. I have not finished the damaged frames movie – it takes time and concentration to examine all the frames – but it’s developing and the movie is a work in progress. I am collecting them in the order they appear in the actual cine films, so have not reached those I have been using as painting sources yet. Click here to see it.
