New platinum palladium print

While working on this print I had the realisation that I actually have never heard te sound of my father’s voice. It is interesting how, when working on a project or series, it lets you think in ways one has never thought before. It feels that by the more I experiment things are falling into place. And even the grey that you see the moment you close your eyes right before you sleep seems like an idea to pursue.

The photo of this print though has not necessarily to do with sound or the grey of my eyes before bed. But more of the dream like state I was in when taking one of my many walks to think. It goes together with a horse which I am working on.

A long incoherent word salad just to say: World, I am making progress.

42 x 28 CM Platinum Palladium print on Ruscombe Herschel Platinotype.

I wish the world could see the print for real. I think it is beautiful. :)
