Light defines form. Color creates mood. Figuration is central. This reclining male figure appears to be praying, asleep or perhaps deceased, with his face partially hidden. Due to the nature of the process, each gum bichromate print is unique. Originally photographed with a 35mm Nikon camera and black and white film, the negative is then scanned and printed on a large sheet of ink jet film to be used as a contact negative. Multiple layers of watercolor pigments thinned with gum arabic and sensitized with ammonium dichromate, are then applied to BFK printmaking paper and repeatedly exposed until the desired results are achieved. The image area is 6.75 X 8, however the entire print including brushwork on the edges and margins (generally hidden under a mat) in 10 X 13.
