Plate
3
'Spirit of Spring' is a well-known study that won much
acclaim for the author. This transparency of a
portrait was projected over; a second projected colour
negative image of a red tulip. A variation of this
concept is plate 59
(Poetic Portfolio) where another profile of Susan
was blended with a colour negative of the centre of a
tulip.
A black and white portrait of the author's sister plate 27
(below) was projected with a colour transparency
of some Lupins.
For use of the crystal see plates 16,
29 and 50
(Poetic Portfolio). To create plate 16 (page 4) a duplicate
transparency was made. This was then projected, with
the crystal in front of the lens, and a red piece of
cellophane placed behind the slide. The original
transparency was then projected into the centre of the
pattern formed.
The other Spanish flamenco study plate 50
(Poetic Portfolio) was created by the same
technique, but two different transparencies were
used. Another crystal was placed, behind the lens,
but not square on.
To create the dragonfly study plate 29
(Poetic portfolio) a slide of the Iris leaves was
projected upside down, through a crystal in front of the
lens. The dragonfly and water lilies were then
projected in to the pattern seen.
Plate 32 Jazz (below) was created with two
projectors, a Cokin camera filter (designed to repeat
parts of the image) was placed between the projector
lens and the transparency of the trumpet. The
colourful transparency of a painting (created by the
author) was then projected on to the same screen. No
the author is not a painter! This painting was achieved by
simply dropping paints that splashed on to a revolving
board in a drum - at some funfair many years ago.
