Polaroid Emulsion Transfer on marble tile"The rescue of drowning men is… a duty worth dying for, but not worth living for..." - C.S. Lewis
Rescue is the new Illustration Friday prompt.
This piece is adapted from a 36" drawing I sold a few years back. (It shows about 1/3 of the original drawing). This transfer features a double exposure of my original drawing + a palm leaf. It is mounted on white marble tile.
Making an Emulsion Transfer:
The image is separated from the Polaroid backing in a warm water bath. The flexible image is then adhered to the marble tile. The final piece is treated with a UV-resistant topcoat. You can read a bit more about the process in this post from last year.
This piece is now available in my shop, ArtSnark.etsy.com. Click the photo for details.
