When the Air Sparkles
I had a long day today: nine hours in studios of various sorts.
In the sculpture studio we did viscosity transfer today, and I printed a Beethoven portrait. I need to built a stand for my multiple Beethovens, so I can print all over it. I'm thinking now that a back would be a good idea, because it gives me more surfaces for printing.
I also developed two rolls of film -- the film from the UK plus half a roll taken around campus -- which came out nicely, despite a brief flash of light on one of them when I made a mistake during development. I put them in the notebook to flatten and will make contact sheets tomorrow. I was very happy with my new bin for toting that gear around -- a file box from Office Max. It's just about perfectly sized for everything I have, and fits exactly in the locker I have near the darkroom. It meant I just grabbed the bin instead of fumbling around trying to pile everything up neatly and keep the smaller bits like the thermometer clip from rolling all over the place.
The printing room was also open tonight, so I was able to drop in and make my polymer plate, then proof and print the black part of my page. I still need to make the linoleum print of lemons that I want to put on the rest of the page, along with Julia's portrait (the polymer plate).
As I left school, the air seemed to sparkle. Maybe it was too much time with toxic chemicals, but the black of the night seemed blacker and the lights seemed sparklier than usual. It made for a lovely drive.
