Tesuque Doors, 20 x 24 Original, Signed and Matted Fine Art Print

Description

Size: 13 x 17 image matted to 20 x 24 (ready to frame), Limited Edition Print

Tesuque is a small village north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The adobe walls and worn doors are characteristic of the area.

Printed on Somerset Velvet Fine Art Paper with Epson K3 inks, signed, numbered, and matted with white acid-free cotton rag mat.

Process:

After I captured the elements of this composition on film, I made a Polaroid image transfer, by re-exposing the image onto Polaroid peel-apart film, then pressing the negative side onto wet watercolor paper. Thus the print dyes of the negative were “transferred” onto the surface of the paper. The Polaroid transfer process imparts a unique texture and a dreamy, old-world feeling.

I then recombined the transfer with the original image, and further developed the mood and evocative nature of the image through the artful application of digital processes. My profile page has more details of my style and process.

The papers and inks I use allow for intensely saturated yet velvety color with clean highlights and increased detail on a sensuous textured surface. The ink and paper combination also creates prints that are rated to last at least 100 years without any noticeable color shift.

Larger and smaller unframed sizes are available (look under SIZES category to the right of the page) and there are price breaks for multiples (under the SETS category.)
