12x12 for $144 II







I participated in the Harwood Art Center's 12x12 fundraising exhibition again this year. I began my piece by printing out reversed photographs on wax paper then experimenting with transferring them to the wood surface to see what the result was. The process was based off a technique I learned in printmaking class, in which the artist prints an image and transfers it to another surface by rubbing it with acetone. The acetone process works best when the image is printed on a laser printer. With an ink-jet printer, I can get the same result using wax paper.
