Description
Mixed Media oilgraph with acrylic, graphite, oil paint and gunpowder on panel
No digital work

From the new series "The Spirit of the Ukraine" dedicated to the ongoing struggle in the country of my origin

Original image shot on Tri-X 120 film with a Mamiya 645 and processed in Agfa Rodinal
Darkroom printed image glued to a custom wooden panel, underpainted and detonated with gunpowder

It's been awhile. I haven't made a new series since the death of my brother. The gunpowder dandelions were fun but novel. First time seriously back in the darkroom and all of it dusty and familiar. I felt the voice I had missed came back. Five long years. Not that I haven't made work but it was always sort of ad hoc. Make something and then retreat again. I hope this stays.
