Snow Day = Work Day

So a foot of snow has worked in my favor today!

I have een productive and I am sorry that the pictures, some of them just don't do the images justice, until they are scanned. Of course right now….some of them still need time to dry :)

Knocking off the ideas that I have presented after this second residency:

Playing with making menu pages. The goal here is to create a anthotype page made up of the ingredients for the recipe made. Then printing the recipe on the page. Of course now, I am realizing I might have to scan the page and then digitally print the recipe onto the image. Here are the images:




I will be scanning these soon and then printing the recipe on top of the image. I will post them later next week. 

Here are some of the digital images I shot of the food. Later this weekend will be my edit day so you will see some of these come back to visit. Take a sneak peak. 







Here are the videos I made of me consuming the product. I ended up short on one because I don't have much space on my phone and I apologize for the tape on the corner…that will be edited out later. 




Other than that… I spent some time researching constellations. In my understanding in older times the farmers used to use the stars to help them to know when winter or summer were to come and when to sow or harvest their crop. This was interesting to me because right now I am working in a more natural way and I thought well….maybe that could be something….time will tell. On that note, here are the constellations I am currently attempting to make with some of my prints. One is a snow print that I have been producing and I have not been very good at posting them online because it has been right before the last residency. Two of them are on digital prints of the anthotypes I have produced last semester. Simply, I looked for brightest areas, places that stuck out to me to place the pin. They are all unfinished pieces though…keep that in mind. I am currently building them.





Here are some images of the small snow prints I made today in the snow. I also did some on fabrics as well and they did not capture well on the camera so I will attempt to scan them this weekend. I also have some fabric pieces I printed onions and artichokes on and will also be playing around with sewing them together this weekend. Here are the snow prints. 


These are just made with a coated sheet of watercolor paper and a vegetable or fruit juice. They are put outside to capture the snow as it falls and let to dry inside. These are the marks left behind. 


This is an image of what I did earlier this week. By making a meal and then placing it on a coated sheet of paper. I had hoped to get to goodwill this afternoon to see about getting more plates to print on but Im snowed in and its not worth my risk. Ill go tomorrow. This is my salad meal from the other day. Dark image Im sorry. 



One of my play ideas was to reprint an anthotype on a digital print of one. This digital print, if my memory serves me correct, is of an orange on a red cabbage. Scanned and printed larger. This here is an image of it re-coated with red cabbage and slices of orange placed on top with a piece of red cabbage in the middle. What was I looking to get…..I don't know. Just a trial to see what turns out. 


Hope you enjoyed my adventures this day!!
