Gum Arabic prints



I was working with Lin C in her studio in Ludlow last week, experimenting with gum arabic prints last week.  Had a great day.  I'd had a brief experiment with this process a couple of months ago but it didn't really work. Using a different 'recipe' from Anne Philmore, I got a good result.  Thanks Anne! 

This  image is created from a photograph which I took in a local graveyard.  I like the way that the process emphasises the crumbling, fragile nature of the stone itself and, I suppose, the insubstantial nature of angels!  I'm going to try a few more.
